- Abstract
- en_US This is a typical Derrydale book, large in format (9½ x 12) with bright and nicely detailed art. Among the twenty-five stories, I find many that are etiological. Perhaps eight could be considered fables, but they are not well-known stories. They include: The man, the buffalo and the tiger (44), The shaggy goat and the hedgehog (49), The deer and the jaguar (63, familiar to me from somewhere), The bear and the mosquito (82), The tomcat, the cockerel and the fox (120), How the wolf went fishing (151, including a new twist after the usual frozen tail story), Why monkeys don't build houses (155), and The man and the dog (159). Among the best illustrations are those of the man covered with birch bark and leaves (72) and the tomcat enjoying life at home (123). There is a typo (birth for birch) on 72. The book has the musty smell of an old book. ©1988 Slovart Publishers, Bratislava.
