- Abstract
- en_US A lovely book, especially for the beautiful colored art on its big pages. The fables range in type and quality. Some deal more than the Aesopic tradition with the elements: fire, water, stone, and steel. Some are good Aesopic stuff: The Mouse, the Weasel, and the Cat; The Tree and the Pole; The Ermine; The Walnut and the Bell Tower; and The Falcon and the Duck. The morals are surprisingly traditional, allegorical, and moralistic. Two of the best are statements of faith: The Pelican and The Eagle Burning Off His Feathers. The best illustration among many good ones is of the butterfly and the flame. The first page of the extra copy is creased.
