19541004349New York: Museum of Modern Art 1954.

Featured fables include "The Hare with Ability and the Tortoise with Staying Power" "The Jackdaw with Eclectic Plumage" and "The Flattered Raven and the Crafty Fox."

There as he struggled with the desolate sound of the hound coming closer and closer in a flash he developed a better sense of values." The Books of Antonio Frasconi 9.
