Abstract

en_US The prologue introduces this reproduced booklet of twenty pages, 5½ x 8½, as having appeared in the 1870's. Of Course, just past the halfway point in the booklet, might well qualify as a fable. Animals in the wood come across a boot and argue over what it may be. The bear says that it is a fruit rind, the wolf a nest, and the goat a long root. The old owl says that it is a boot, and the rest all dispute him vigorously. Then they force the owl to leave the wood. The owl's last words are It is true for all that. Towards the end of the booklet one finds How the Lion Loved the Dog, which is a version of Tolstoy's story, with Nero as the lion, Trot as the dog, and the London zoo as the venue. It is perhaps typical of this booklet that the story does not carry through to Trot's death.
