- Abstract
- en_US "Here is a mysterious set of three books, found too long after I had acquired them. I have pieced together some information from the web. I know that they have one ISBN number for the whole set (957-492-375-4) and one for each volume (here: 957-492-377-0). This second volume has a picture of a monkey on a roof for its cover, which would be the back cover in a western book. That story, which I do not recognize, occurs on 126-29. A beginning T of C lists, as does Volume I, 37 fables in this volume on some 191 pages, with stiff paper covers that form their own flyleaves. The fables are easy to recognize from the lively colored illustrations, usually two to a fable with occasional colored photographs showing given animals. Among the livelier illustrations in this engaging volume are the two for "The Mother and the Wolf" (49, 50). We get a sad-looking lion without teeth and claws on 60. The two serving girls rudely awakened are very young (93). Typical of this illustration style is the lively picture of the crow stuck in a lamb's wool (180). Each fable has a small "post-it note" in a corner with a smaller version of one of the illustrations. Might that note express a moral? The set of three volumes is boxed."
