- Abstract
- en_US Finding fable books is often a strange adventure. In connection with attending a medieval conference in Leeds, I took a day at York. My main activity, of course, was visiting bookstores. Still, I wanted also to enjoy some of the other local culture, and so I visited the famous Minster. This church had a shop, and I stopped in. There I found this large (9 x 12) pamphlet with the music for a short children's musical. The booklet includes one link song and six individual songs for use in four playlets based, respectively, on TMCM, OF, FS, and TH. The second song for TH looks like a rousing finish to it all: You Can Win (34). Perhaps the best of the lyrics are those for the second song in TMCM, Come with Me (14). Kensington and Jethro sing, for example, these respective lines to each other: Dine with me on canapés, cakes and champagne every day and Though it's tempting I agree, it's not quite the life for me (16). It seems that the fox and stork get together as friends at the end, as they sing Let's make amends, and let's be friends for evermore! (31). I have made an attempt at ordering the play-book. My, the things one finds--and then the things for which one needs to look further!
