- Abstract
- en_US There is an advantage in doing lots of cataloguing in a short space of time. This book invited me to enjoy that advantage. As I looked it over, I was struck by the images: I had seen them before. Some checking brought me to Om's 2018 book "Aesop's Fables: All-time Favourite Stories: Large Print Story Book." I believe that the visual work throughout the two books is identical. Another quick check shows that this is our first book in Hindi, our 72nd language in the collection. As I wrote there, the visual and textual approaches to the stories are simple. TT begins with another fable, in which Zeus condemns the tortoise to carry his house. The two ducks carry not only the tortoise on their long stick, but a suitcase and a basket of fish. I am not sure I have ever heard "The Fox, the Donkey, and the Lion" told this way. The betraying fox offers the donkey to the lion and leads the donkey into a pit. The lion then, as usually, devours the fox but, in this case, then frees the donkey. 82 pages. 7½" by 9¼". The 2018 English copy is a reprint of the original 2012 printing, the same year as this book's year of printing.
