Scope and Contents

From the Collection:

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

The two sides of the tapes are for manual and automatic slide forwarding. Good sound effects and music. Generally a bit scratched up from wear. The stories tend to be elaborated.

FC: 4:30. 27 illustrations. Well told.

BW: 4:42. 29 illustrations. The first time, the men did not realize that the boy had been fooling them. The second time they did. In the end, all the sheep were killed. "Don't ask for help when you don't need it."

LM: 4:43. 27 illustrations. The mouse is climbing the biggest stone he has ever seen; it turns out to be the lion's nose. The mouse later just happens to come to where the lion is trapped. "No one is too small to be able to help a friend."

DS: 3:36. 22 illustrations. This dog has no name or home. He has to find his own food. He finds a piece of meat behind a meat market and takes it to a pond, at the shores of which he has his problems. One extra copy for $3 from R. Korenich, North Port, FL, through Ebay, May, '00.
