Abstract

en_US A great book, starting from the lovely design embossed on the cover and repeated on the title page. Monterroso has healthy, sardonic fun with Aesop and lots of others in these forty-four stories. The Monkey Satirist (17) gives the key. Other excellent representatives are The Owl Who Wanted to Save Humanity (37) and David's Sling (91). For quick fun, try The Black Sheep (29), The Lightning Bolt (49), The True Frog (63), The Donkey and the Flute (85), and The Fabulist and the Critics (105). Ulysses traveled whenever Penelope wove.
