- Abstract
- en_US Here is the Japanese version of Wildsmith's work, originally published by Oxford University Press in 1966. The bibliographical data here notes that original publication and seems to indicate a publication date of 1969 for this Japanese version. Beyond that I cannot make out much other than that it originally sold for 480 Yen. I have this book in two English versions: a hardbound printing of 1988 and a paperbound printing of 1985 from the first paperbound of 1982. I will add my comments from those two versions: Lively pictures in the Wildsmith style. The story is much expanded (even from la Fontaine): the fox and the owl debate, and the rooster starts the race.
