Abstract

en_US I thoroughly enjoyed the first chapter and a half of this 92-paged book's nine chapters. Though called a fable, the book looks like either a short novel or a long short story to me. A retired Latin teacher lives on one side of the road enjoying Horace, Virgil, Catullus and gossip from the mailman. To her surprise a drifter moves into the henhouse across the road. Someday I look forward to reading the rest of this tale. The front flyleaf nicely quotes Mutato nomine, de te fabula narratur. The illustrator seems to be acknowledged only on the front of the dust-jacket, and there his name is written in black against a busy black background. I would never have been able to decipher Spanfeller if the name had not also occurred at the bottom of the back flyleaf, where he is credited with designing the dust-jacket. Ex-libris Marjorie A. Sander.
