Abstract

en_US Advertised on the back cover as containing delightful twists of Æsop's Tales. The closest Aesopic fables I can remember are about the picky heron (but there the victims get smaller and do no pleading) and about a variety of victims who promise in vain that they will come back when they are bigger. The fox here releases a mouse, a rat, and a hare before he finally, foolishly bites into a bear's nose. Here Firmin has fun away from the action with cowboy ants that end up riding beetles like horses. Delightful contemporary art.
