- Abstract
- en_US This book answers some questions even as it raises others. It is based on an American edition of 1976 by Falcon Book. It includes the five fables in each of four books done, also in 1978, by Éditions des Deux Coqs d'Or. They all belong to the series "Contes et Fables d'Animaux." It is thus my guess that there is only one missing book in that series, the one covering the other five fables here. Let me report here on only these five additional fables. These five fables not previously accounted for include "The Monkey and the Wanderer." The two visit a zoo, and the monkey decides that the monkeys there have the good life. He joins them, only to find life boring. He rejoins his master. The ass that hunts with the lion here gets devoured when he tries to scare off a leopard. A worm tries to convince a red-breast bird that he can offer better food in the future and will bring a quantity of relatives for him to eat; the red-breast does not buy it and instead devours the worm. The next day, a man catches the red-breast, who tries the same story and gets similarly eaten. The last offers a curious story of a sheep in a wolf-skin. The best illustrations show, first, the monkey back and dancing with his master and, secondly, the leopard about to grasp the donkey with eyes closed, rejoicing in his frightening bray.
