Fable of the Frogs and a Mouse, teaching the sage lesson that efforts to improve one's tolerable living situation are to be avoided, as things can always get worse, and also that mice with the best of intentions are still unreliable as real estate agents. With spectacular color illustrations and a happier resolution than some variants of the tale: the Frogs survive, knowing it best to retreat to their home pond and recite the lines Aristophanes set down for them "in ancient times": Βρεκεκεκέξ κοάξ κοάξ!
Paris: Librairie Garnier Frères, [1911]. 8'' x 10.5''. Original illustrated cardstock wrappers. 16 pages. Illustrated in color throughout. Edges and front cover moderately scuffed; minor soil to wrappers.
