- Abstract
- en_US This is a delightful 119-page paperback with a T of C at the back. Fables are presented either one or two to a page, with the left page presenting the Armenian and the right page the English translation. Above and on the outside edge of both pages are colorful transfer-like illustrations, which occur in reverse on the opposite page. The effect is pleasing! Many of the fables are recognisable old Aesopic fables. New favorites for me include The Owl and the Mother Quail on 19 and The Kites and the Eagles on 21. This version substitutes Aramazd for Zeus in the story of the snake with the flower in its mouth (29). There are occasional glaring typos.
