- Abstract
- en_US This book is a refreshing discovery of an apparently kindred spirit. Monteiro Lobato created beloved children's literature. This work on fables, as far as I can understand its Portuguese, regularly starts from a good version of a traditional fable of Aesop and or La Fontaine. It moves then regularly to a conversation involving several charming characters including the rag doll Emilia. GA, for example, is told with a happy ending: the grasshopper is invited in to spend the whole winter. "But there was a different ant in Europe" who plays out the La Fontaine version. Characters engage in a lively discussion then about whether that is really the way ants are. "Eagle and Owl" prompts a comment about the way artists love their offspring too, and so they find them beautiful. OF leads to a discussion of the appropriate Portuguese word for "monster." I would enjoy a book of these fables translated into English. That book seems not to exist. TOC at the beginning. 173 pages. 6" x 9¼". Originally composed in 1922, This book has a copyright of 2018.
