- Abstract
- en_US A traditional Aesop fable is retold as the story of Fox and Goose, who try to be friends, but end up misunderstanding one another and not showing compassion for each other's needs, with disastrous consequences. The illustrations are lively. Might one call the art cubist? Joven enjoys showing us both of a character's eyes, even from the side. There are several curiosities here in the story. For Aesop's fox and stork, we have here a fox and a goose. The background is an early history in which all the animals were friendly with each other. Goose here invites fox first but unintentionally frustrates him by serving her meal in jugs. Fox, angry, serves thick porridge on flat dishes. Their falling.out leads to widespread division and hostility among the animals.
