- Abstract
- Here is a copy of the fourth impression in 1986 of this pamphlet, of which I already have a copy of the first impression in 1984. Like the earlier copy, this is an engaging sixteen-page pamphlet with stiff covers. Biro's best illustration here may be the double-page centerfold showing the dog in the master's lap and the donkey looking in enviously through the window. In fact, the ancestor in the picture on the wall is startled by the donkey! The grinning expressions of the donkey playing and frolicking (10-13) contrast nicely with his expressions when being beaten (14-15) and when reflecting in his stable (16). One of the ironies of finding this book after finding so many others in Biro's three series is that I paid £2 for the four booklets and £17.21 for postage!
