Abstract

en_US This book represents an important contribution, I believe, to the fable tradition. Generally, each fable takes two pages, and generally there are two images for each. Urberuaga's style, which seems to me similar to that of Quentin Blake, brings a good sardonic punch to the illustration of these sixty-four fables. Let me mention some particularly good images. The rabbit walks away from the deep well, as only the lion's tail is still above the surface (29). The two images work together well on 54-55 to give an image of the frogs' peace and then their consternation when the bull approaches. There is a similar striking contrast between the peaceful lamb lapping up water on 56 and the bloody lambskin left on a tree by the wolf on 57. The very next fable contrasts well the antics of the monkey on 58 with his trappedness as he holds the bait apple on 59. On 66 a cat walks along contented with a mouse-tail hanging out of its mouth; on 67 a whole congregation of mice surround and look at a bell but do nothing. TT here seems to have not a turtle but a frog who plummets to his death (79-81). FK gets two delightful illustrations (96-99), with the latter again showing a frog's legs extending from the stork's beak. The dolphin has a great expression on 108 as he lets his lying monkey sink. The Fox and the Drum (150-51) makes a fine cover picture for this excellent book. The drum is split and the fox walks away disappointed.
