Abstract

en_US The dust jacket describes the book as a droll updating of a story from Aesop, and Duke herself dedicates the book With special thanks to Aesop. I believe that the fable in question is that of the pig, the lamb, and the cow. There the pig points out to the other two, when upbraided for complaining, that the farmer is after the pig's life, not his products. Here the pig Roseberry is a great adventurer who decides at last to settle down with some sheep, expecting the same care from the shepherd that they receive. Soon he is put into a cooking pot and makes a narrow escape, learning that home is where you are among friends.
