Lion and Mouse Paper Bookmark Puzzle, 2006
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
Set of three paper bookmark puzzles. Each set is by a different artist. This genre is new to me. Five individual bookmarks line up together to make a larger scene from La Fontaine's fables. Who would have thought?! Collecting fables is giving me an education!
This set combines to form the fable of the Lion and the Mouse with other fables surrounding it (the Fox and the Crow and the tortoise and the hare). The illustration is done by Francine Rigollet.
