- Abstract
- en_US Grabianski returns here to a much fuller version of the story that led off his 1965 Das große Fabelbuch. The book has received extensive use, but its pictures are still captivating. The version here has several surprises for me. Androcles and Lion (the beast's proper name) are both in North Africa. Androcles is a Black. The story follows Lion from his birth until the time that he enters the arena in Rome. Androcles is a Christian shepherd, not a runaway slave. Lion not only spares Androcles, but he also kills a leopard released expressly to kill Androcles. The emperor sends them both back to freedom in North Africa. Lion cannot speak or understand human speech.
