Abstract

en_US A clever little book combining original fables with adaptations of Aesopic models. Each fable then receives an insurance application. The illustrations of various sorts and sizes are enjoyable. Some of the better Aesopic adaptations include FWT at the beginning; the clever fox here would not go the same route that his Uncle Reynard had gone, namely advising other foxes to cut off their tails. Instead he bought a long-skirted coat and said he had just returned from London. And the result was that from that day on frock coats became quite fashionable in Foxville. The application for banks and trust companies urges them not to conceal their surplus. The full-page illustration is spirited! The Deluded Blackamoor is told in standard fashion; the application is that To the Life Underwriter truth is essential. A good fable that is new to me concerns the sheep dog bought by a farmer. A neighbor tells him that the dog is a well-known killer of sheep, and the farmer promptly kills the dog. The next day the neighbor says that he had made a mistake! The booklet tells The Lap Dog and the Ass as usual. Its application? The life underwriter who lacks common sense is seriously handicapped. In a witty transformation of DS, a wolf gives the dog a tip that there is a large piece of meat floating in the water. That afternoon the wolf was seen with a large piece of meat in his paw. The application has to do with giving up a policy in a solvent company for a better policy in another company. FS is told in the opposite order from the usual.
