- Abstract
- en_US There are several notable qualities in this large (8½" x 11") book. First, it may set a record among contemporary publications for a lack of bibliographical information. Who did the versions, who did the pictures, and where in the world is Wonder House? Secondly, this is an unusual approach to Panchatantra in that it uses no frame story. Thirdly, as far as I understand the history of particular fables, the book's editors are include specific fables from the "Western," Aesopic, tradition, in this collection. I refer to fables like WC (60); FS (61); TH (62); and AD (63). Fourthly, the book offers a moral for each fable. To some, that practice will be helpful. For me, it takes away the quality that Panchatantra has of letting characters use fables for specific meanings in their given situations. Finally, this book may be helpful in showing the array of good fables available to someone who wants specific stories. The illustrations are about what one would expect in the era of computer-generated illustrations. They are colorful, lively, and appropriate. 160 pages.
