Abstract

en_US This booklet is just under 8½ x 11. It has 97 pages plus a bibliography and T of C. The first portion (10-30) is titled Fábula de Fábulas and given over to short works with Fábula in the title. After a fable with the same title as the whole portion, there are thus ten other pieces marked as fábula. The former seems to serve as an introduction. The young king asks to hear stories from the old counselor. In the first of the following fables, a companion accurately tells a blind man that he is picking up a snake, but the blind man believes that it is a staff and doubts the motivation of the advice-giver. Soon enough the snake devours the fool. The other fables are a mix of some I have not seen before and some traditional, including those in which a rabbit lures a lion to his death in water and in which three fish react differently to a threat. The full-page monochrome illustrations add a playful cartoon-like character. I think that this is my first fable book from Costa Rica.
