Abstract

en_US The visual and textual approaches to the stories are simple. In FG, one might ask if a fox can jump higher and higher and still come no closer to the grapes. This story has a clear focus in its final line: "But insulting what he could not get, did not make him feel any better!" I am not sure all would agree! 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. When a passing crow says that this tortoise must be the king of tortoises, the tortoise is in the act of assenting…. "And that was the end of the foolish tortoise!" 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. In BW, Joel tries the same trick on three successive days. 82 pages. 7½" by 9¼". This 2018 copy is a reprint of the original 2012 printing.
