Abstract

en_US Here are twelve stories of twenty pages each. They are children's stories that bring together animal stories and the Hebrew scriptures. I read only the first, Secrets of Creation. The wise Gaffer Robin (every animal here has a given name and then his/her generic animal name) hears the complaints of many against Jo Jay. His solution is to ask all the hawks of Eden Forest to harass all the other birds for seven days. Jo Jay is the alarm signal for the birds when the hawks attack. After a week, the birds are again grateful to Jo Jay and understand that he too has a place in God's creation. Gaffer goes on to tell the assembled birds first the story of David saved by a spider's web. And David had asked God why God had ever created spiders! And David, who also had despised wasps, was saved by a wasp when he had approach Saul asleep in his camp, for there Abner in his sleep had David between his legs until a wasp stung Abner. This may be the first book in this collection published in Israel. It has nothing to do with fables, as far as I can see, in the sense in which I want to pursue fables.
