- Abstract
- en_US Here is a first printing of this book. Our collection already includes a third printing. Here are comments I made there. This is a pleasing presentation of a popular and delightful story. The six blind men liken what they feel to various things, specifically a wall, snake, spear, tree, fan, and rope. The prince who owns the elephant enlightens them--after they wake him up from his nap--that each has been touching only a part. They need to put the parts together. He then adds that the elephant is also very good to ride on, and they agree that this is the best part. Colorful and engaging drawings, climaxing in the last picture of the six, marked with their differently colored turbans, being carried home.
