- Abstract
- en_US Is it just the amount I had to pay for it that makes me much more partial to Frasconi's art here than I had been to it in the smaller booklets done at the same time? The stories still seem to me to represent unfortunate compromises or attempts to find meaning in the meaningless. Wescott misses the countdown effect in the first fable, The Starved Farmer and His Fat Dogs. The flattered raven has his mouth full of something delicious. Why cannot the something be either meat or cheese? The Fishermen with the Stone in Their Net addresses a case of disillusionment but illogically argues that they are now more likely to catch fish tomorrow. Maybe someone else can find more point in this TH moral than I do: Persistent ambition without talent breaks no record. Talent without character wins no race.
