The Cat Mask, 1994
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
The Cat "Meeow-Meeow." "Sauces and ham, it's hungry I am! Mice in my stew, wait till I catch you!" Cat loves to chase mice in his town house, but lately everything is going wrong. These new mice lead him into one disaster after another.
Abstract
Six paper masks from G.P. Putnam's Sons as a promotion in connection with Jan Brett's Town Mouse/Country Mouse. The back of each mask identifies its character's name and offers apt quotations and commentary, which I show below. See also, on an advertisements page, stickers that reproduce in smaller format the four mice masks.
