Abstract

en_US I presumed that I already had a copy of this book but could use a good copy. To my surprise, I have two unusual copies -- a library binding and a paperback -- but not a normal copy. This book was first sold by I. Magnin, presumably in San Francisco. As I wrote of the paperback copy, this big book is an excellent format for Wildsmith's large and colorful work. There are several good illustrations--of the lion hunting and of the animals rushing to see--but I do not find the quality of the art sustained. All the animals came to see the trapped lion, but none could help, and they all left.
