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
This full-page advertisement presents a dramatic cartoon of a man riding around inside a jaguar (the animal, that is). The story is about a young man who read this magazine and bought a jaguar car. Though the neighbors criticized him, he did well and moved on. Now they still remember and talk about him. The moral is that it is more important to influence the 130,000 readers of the magazine than the people on one's block.
