Abstract

en_US Here is a collection of fables noteworthy for the spread of its sources. Almost one hundred and fifty authors are represented, many with a number of fables. The fables are arranged by author, and there is a T of C showing the authors and fables on 368-82. (A partial but very long list also occurs on the back flyleaf.) Just before the T of C, there is an AI of authors. Just before that there are four pages of comments on unusual words and concepts, listed by page numbers. One of the qualities of this collection is its immense geographic spread. The second author cited is Asian. One section (262-287) takes up fables from India, Africa, Vietnam, Indonesia, Tibet, Japan, and Korea, respectively. Not only cultures but also overlooked individuals are represented here, including Goethe, James Thurber, Bertold Brecht, Wilhelm Hey, and Augusto Monterroso. The art work is particularly appealing. There are two principal forms of art here: small tailpieces, like the excellent presentation of DS on 28, and half-page combinations of speaker and poster, like LM on 17. The art is continued on both covers. The same playful style is evident in the colored dj. This book will turn out, I believe, to be a valuable resource.
