Hare and Tortoise Ravensburger Game, 1985
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
Here is an earlier -- but not the earliest -- version of a game listed below under "2000." This game was in 1979 the first "Spiel des Jahres" winner. Versions of the game have made these claims on their packaging: "The most Ingenious Race Game ever devised. Find out why when you play it! Designed to delight children! Guaranteed to baffle adults!"
