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
2000? French silk scarf about 33½” square depicting Aesop’s fables with English language quotations around each of nine images.
It is surprising to find a French scarf representing Aesop, since La Fontaine is so widely known and loved in France. This sheer scarf surprises also by its size. It has fun with the stories and their images! Click on any portion to see it enlarged.
