- Abstract
- en_US The four fables presented and illustrated in this volume are: The Opportunistic Donkey; The Ant and The Dove; The Lion and The Bear; and The Fox Without a Tail. The donkey in the first fable falls into a pool deliberately but this second time he is carrying cotton and not salt. As in another fable, the moral uses wisdom but means something more like bright idea: One could suffer for his wisdom (4). AD is well told but has this strange moral: Don't be little yourself (8). When the lion and bear exhaust each other, a fox takes away the deer over which they have been arguing: When shepherds quarrel, the wolf has a winning game (12). FWT has some foxes see the fox without his tail first; does that fact not undercut his appeal to others to part with theirs voluntarily? Here is a good moral: Facts are most convincing (16). The two-page spreads remain the most important part of the visual art here.
