- Abstract
- en_US Originally published in Slovak by Mlade leta in Bratislava in 1981. This is a book of fifty-three Burmese fairytales. Two of them seem to me to be fables. The title-story is a pleasant replay of the story of mouse-parents seeking the right husband for their beautiful daughter. Their criterion is that the groom has to be the strongest party in the world. The series of contestants here -- all eager to marry this beauty -- runs through the moon, the rain, the wind, the mountain, the buffalo, and the rope, before arriving at the nearby mouse. The other story is the Panchatantra story of the rabbit and the lion. The former tricks the tyrannical latter to jump into a well. The rabbit thus frees the whole jungle of its tyrant (130). The book is an example of Eastern European publications under Soviet rule. The small designs and full-page colored illustrations by Tarasova are pleasing and put the characters into Burmese costume.
