- Abstract
- en_US This is a sideways (landscape) book of considerable artistic appeal, like The Hare and the Tortoise from the same publisher in 1998. The color work is excellent. Ward is faithful to Chaucer. I see two possible exceptions. First, has Chanticleer never seen a fox before? A second exception may consist in the adding of a forest, at the edge of which all the pursuing animals stop. The liveliest images here come when the animals pursue the fox with Chanticleer in his mouth. The first of these is particularly attractive. A special feature of this book comes at the end when each of the species represented here is identified. There is a black (remainder?) mark on the bottom of the book. Well done again!
