- Abstract
- en_US Eight wistful stories, full of romance, broken hearts, forests, and mists. The back cover speaks rightly of a dreamlike landscape. Towards the end of the book there are two explicit ties to Aesopic fables. A parody of OR (XXI) has the toppled oak crush the proud reed. The Lion and the Gnat (XXXIII) has the lion gashing himself to death before the gnat is eaten by a spider half his size. This is a stiff-bound book of only 48 pages with an illustration, most colored, for each story. The typos and fragments are distracting, like by such as busy Monarch (XL) or she took cooked whilst he chopped wood (XLVI). This volume comes complete with a publisher's letter to a potential reviewer. The letter aptly describes the book as sharp and sentimental by turns.
