Abstract: en_US Eleven fables in a more specific sense among the 142 stories here. The legendary stories are heavily etiological, especially for local geography. There are many love stories, starting from sky father and earth mother and including many tales of husband and wife stealing, killing, and eating. Typical and engaging: The Heart of a Child (61), The Jealous Gods (75), and The Jealous Sisters (76). For an antidote, try The Love Charm (85). The black-and-white art is strong. One fable touches the Aesopic tradition: in GA (13), there is no trip of the grasshopper to the ant in winter; he simply dies. The other fables are on 19, 20, 38, 77, 81, 92, 112 (two fables), 129, and 138.
