Abstract

en_US A really beautiful set of three books. Pack and his wife picked this as their favorite when we reviewed a great day's findings from Kanda. In this second volume, a T of C at the Japanese front is followed by seventeen fables presented in Japanese script with delightful green cartoons. Then on 56-63 we find the unadorned French texts going in the Western direction! The fables here include GGE, FC, WL, 2B, The Hornets and the Honeybees, The Wishes, SS, The Swan and the Cook, The Wolf, the Mother, and the Child, The Horoscope, 2P, The Satyr and the Passerby, The Cockerel, the Cat, and the Young Mouse, The Sick Lion and the Fox, The Monkey and the Leopard, The Old Man and the Three Young Men, and The Two Friends. The best of the illustrations, I think, are those for The Hornets and the Honeybees and The Monkey and the Leopard. The beautiful dust jacket and cover present a front stage whose top is formed by a fox, birds, a lion, and a pig and whose bottom features insects. On the stage are geese, a crow, an elephant, and acrobatic monkeys. The Japanese back cover features a circle with a golden egg, a monkey, a fly, and a cat each getting a quadrant.
