- Abstract
- The back cover lists the four stories in this 16-page pamphlet: "The Emperor's New Clothes"; "The Golden Fish"; "The Book of Spells"; and "The Hare and the Elephant." In "The Emperor's New Clothes" the emperor is a funny, pudgy nude in two pictures. He is ashamed in the procession but rides stiffly all the way, "resolving never to be vain again." The two scoundrels make off with the gold and all the precious thread, laughing all the way. "The Hare and the Elephant" is new to me and clever. When a large hare disputes with a young elephant about which is bigger, the hare suggests that they ask the villagers. These say, predictably, "What a small elephant!" and "What a large hare!" For the hare, those comments settle the matter. As they walk back home, the elephant raises a leg and says "Get out of my way, big hare, before a small elephant crushes you!" The art and arrangement are familiar from Tormont's many other publications. The front cover's picture shows the pudgy naked Emperor riding in procession. Like II 2, this Book Two of the Third Series includes no bibliographical data. Apparently one consults Book 1 of a series for that information.
