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

I can see why this effort was winner of a "Best Audio Tape" award. To judge from the first fable, the tape brings lively narration, good guitar background, and effective alternate voices. There are eight fables, with engaging new titles: "The Kind Ant," "The Fashionable Fox," "Max and His Trusty Ax," "The Most Beautiful Bird," "The Courageous King," "The Neighbors," "Penelope and Henrietta," and "TootleLee and TootleLou."
