Abstract

en_US This is a curious 7¼" x 9¾" hardbound book containing five sections each of which we might most aptly call a comic book. The five are listed on the cover; each after the first has its own cover and pagination covering 32 pages. Some sections, like the first, cover only one story. In this case, the story there, "The Mouse Merchant," has an ambitious man start with selling a dead mouse and ending incredibly rich. The stories come closest to short fables in the third section, "The Magic Chant," with two stories: "The Sadhu and the Ram" and "The Day the Earth Broke into Two." The first features a Sadhu who believes that a ram is bowing before him. Others try to warn him that the ram is preparing to attack. The ram does attack. "I have invited this agony on myself! I was foolish and vain! Now I have paid the price!" The second story we tend to know as presenting a panic because the sky is supposedly falling. The book is one in a series of books containing either three or five such sections. Two of the 3-IN-1 volumes, I notice, present tales from the Panchatantra. Those could be fun!
