Abstract

en_US Full-color cartoons present "The Purchase of the Ass"; "The Hunter and the Ferret"; "The Gardener and His Master"; "The Linnet and the Swan"; "The Elephant and the Other Animals"; and "The Concert of the Beasts." "The Purchase of the Ass," who is in the best of animal finery but is sick and wounded, is like the purchase of a book with great covers but worthless inside. "The Hunter and His Ferret" tells of a bragging hunter interrupted by his ferret, who did all the work. But that reality check did not stop the hunter from his bragging. "The Gardener and His Master" has the gardener, trying to please his master, alternately starving either fish or flowers. In "The Linnet and the Swan," the latter criticizes the former for constant singing. Challenged to sing herself, the swan can only cackle. "The Elephant and the Other Animals" is the first in Iriarte's published collection. The elephant offers critique to the whole group, at which some bristle. That is a sign that they need to take it seriously. So too with Iriarte's fables: he is not pointing at individuals. "Who feels the censure linger must sup on his own bread." "The Concert of the Beasts" turns out to be cacophonous. Each does his own thing, blaming others for ill and taking credit for what is good. King Lion says that he will never listen to their music again. My prize in this 16-page pamphlet about 7" x 8" goes to the two contrasting cartoons in the first fable. The ass is at first all decked out and then covered with bandages.
