- Abstract
- en_US Here is an impressive book: sturdy, well produced, and beautifully designed. I read perhaps the first dozen stories. Several at least approach being fables; perhaps a sign is that they, by contrast with other stories here, have morals attached to them. Such are Fire and Water (14); How the Fox Became Red (18); The Right Choice (22); and Cunning Fox (31). The last of these uses the same ploy as Brer Rabbit when the culprit fox suggests his own punishment: greasing his tail! The eight monochrome illustrators are listed on 200.
