- Abstract
- en_US Here is a most unusual book. About its texts, I can say nothing except that there is a beginning T of C. The front cover presents a congeries of animal faces in color, appropriate for Aesop's fables. The book features full-page monochrome illustrations that are highly stylized and interpretative. Though I cannot find out more bibliographical information about this book, including where I found it, I do know that it won a Sarpay Beikhman translation award in 1954. Among the best of the twenty or so full-page illustrations, I would mention "The Bull and the Gnat" about halfway through the book (sorry, the pagination is in Burmese) and WL late in the book. Apparently there are 310 pages here. I believe that this Burmese-language book brings to 65 the total of languages represented in monolingual books in our collection. Ngwe Ta Yee is Min Yu Way's wife, and he himself is a recognized literary creator in Myanmar. This copy includes a pamphlet and a card in Burmese. What a great find!
