- Abstract
- en_US This is a beautiful landscape (rather than portrait) pamphlet 11x 8½. Radlov presents simple stories, usually in three or four panels on one or sometimes two pages. Several are already traditional fables or reworking of traditional fable motifs, like The Two Silly Billies (4), The Artful Pup (20), How the Cat Rapped Itself on the Nose (25), and The Sharp Little Frog (27). Harry Hedgehog Makes His Winter Stores (23) shows ingenuity like that of the crow with the pitcher, since Harry picks up many apples at once by jumping into a pile of them. Many of the others are simply delightful visual tricks, like making turtles into wheels on 18 or mistaking a crane's legs for reeds on 19. The book is colored throughout and is in fine condition. The English rhymes are often surprisingly good. I am very glad that Greg Williams thought of me when he came across this book.
