Les Contes et les Fables: 20 cubes en bois, 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 with the set I found new at Bon Marche in 1999, there are here six cartoon pictures in 5x4 form in a sturdy wooden box. The packing again advertises "100% Fabrication en France." The pictures on each cube are again in a sequence; rotate all one turn and revolve all one turn, and you have a complete image. Twenty is a high number of blocks for a puzzle of this sort. There are three fables here: GA, FC, and TH. These images, perhaps from the 80's or 90's, do not replicate those in the later fable set. Watch out! The box's bottom has come unglued!
