It has several small edge nicks and tears along with some lightish wrinkling to the top front edge. Little is known about the author, other than that he was a California native, born of immigrant parents in 1858. He published two books in total, this book of animal fables, and a book of Poetry entitled The Holocaust and Other Poems (1914) , He died in 1928, just a few years after this slim book of tales was published. He did market this particular book -- but not seemingly with great results. The Rochester Herald (N. Y) notes: "Mr. Sonntag issues a collection of a great many fables, in which various humans and animals perform in such manner of foolishness or wisdom that the author may draw a moral conclusion from each tale. Some of them are mildly humorous. If the author would select his best and employ the services of a clever illustrator in colors, the results might be a quite presentable volume." (from Wikipedia).
