Abstract

en_US Eighteen fables, two proverbs, and one riddle in a selection of wonderful variety and freshness. Besides old friends from La Fontaine (2), India, and Aesop (including two labelled Babrius and Armenia ), there are good stories that are new to me: The Camel and the Mouse (24), The Heron Woos the Crane (26), Anansi Rides the Tiger (30), The Pig and the Bear (34), and The Heron and the Hummingbird (76, like TH). This version of OF (88), though labelled as from La Fontaine, has the frog trying to get the ox's attention. Of course he does so only when he pops and thus disappears! Similarly, the story of The Peacock and the Jackdaw here (39) is not the usual one about the jackdaw's dressing up but rather the Aesopic story about the peacock's inability to be a good ruler. Two stories are long: Four Friends (11-23) from Kalila and Dimna and The Monkey (Chinese, 64-73). The art is enjoyable. The artist has fun getting animals and borders interacting.
