- Abstract
- en_US This is one of ten landscape pamphlets of 24 pages each that come in two five-pamphlet sets. This set is labeled as "Volume II." Texts offer rhyming verse, and there is a flap at the end of each pamphlet to cover the right-hand picture while a young reader tries to make out the words on the left-hand page. The fables are told in the present tense. The computer-generated graphics seem to match up well with the texts. This version includes a curious imaging of the death of the goose. A "goose soul" with a halo departs the goose's corpse, apparently on the way to heaven! In the strongest illustration, the goose owner, chopping knife in hand, has the goose by the throat. After the murder, the goose owner sits crying in a cemetery marked by a grave's cross.
