Complete digitally restored reprint (facsimile handmade reproduction) of the original edition of 1899 with excellent resolution and outstanding readability. With five illustrations by Peter Newell. The layout is +45% larger as the original for a better readability. Fables for the Frivolous is one of the earliest works by the American parodist Guy Wetmore Carryl. These fables are adapted from Jean de La Fontaine's original writings. The Aesop-style fables are written in verse, and are light-hearted re-tellings of fables from two centuries before, each ending with a moral and a pun.
