Lion Hand Puppet, 1990
Scope and Contents
The Carlson Fable Collection is a gathering of primary fable materials at Reinert Alumni Memorial Library at Creighton University. It grew out of the personal collection of fable materials gathered by Rev. Gregory Carlson, S.J. and was given to the Creighton Libraries in 1996. There are more than 10,000 books and approximately 8,000 artifacts in the collection.
From plates to stamps, from cards to whiskey decanters, from toys to posters, you'll find just about anything you can imagine here. Please explore all that is to offer here in my fables Catalogue of Objects.
This is the largest online catalog of fable related objects on the internet. Many are from Aesop's Fables but you will find La Fontaine, Velazquez and Krylov also represented in this collection.

Abstract
As the tag shows on this puppet in excellent condition, the puppet is meant to recall AL. This Folkmanis hand-puppet stands out from the others by its sheer size. From nose to hind quarters – without even counting the tail – it measures 18”. The insertion point for a manipulator’s hand is cleverly put just at the base of the mane.
