- Abstract
- en_US This is a 32-page paperbound book in large format with a wide array of stories. The geographic provenance of each story is given. All except one are identified by their nation of origin; Kahlil Gibran is the author of the other story. Represented ethnic groups include Celts, Indians, Africans, Arabs, Sioux, Uruguayans, Nepalese, Mexicans, and Eskimos. There seems to be a mix here of traditional fables and other stories. Thus the first story is of a fisherman who marries a seal, while the second is about villagers who fear the ringing of a bell until they find that a monkey is doing the ringing. More traditional fables include the frog and the scorpion; the hares and the elephants; and three from Kalila and Dimna: the doves and the net; the hare, the lion, and the well; and the turtle, gazelle, and rat with the hunter. I am delighted to see a well-made book come out of Mexico.
