Abstract

en_US This is an energetic large-format pamphlet 24 pages long and presenting five fables. Part 3 of four parts. The fables presented are WC; FC; Acorn or Pumpkin?; The Fox and the Goat; and MSA. The supposed well of the text in FC looks like a lake or river in the illustration. The young character in Acorn or Pumpkin? is a known complainer called Grumblestiltskin. He responds to being struck by the acorn by muttering What a nuisance! A fellow can't even get a moment's rest here! (12). The Fox and the Goat includes a final episode not usually mentioned but here pictured, even on the cover: the goat's owner comes to the well and rescues him. There had been no discussion between fox and goat within the well; the fox immediately jumped out and only talked later. There are proofreading problems in this booklet. The word more seems to be missing in line 7 of page 8, and on 12 an extra period creates two fragments in line 3.
