Abstract

en_US Strange things keep happening. I have a book with identical bibliographical information, including author, artist, and publisher, but it was published in 1968 and had some 48 pages. This book totally transforms that one in its 58 pages. The dust jacket is gone. The front cover was, on the dust-jacket, a dog and a rabbit strolling, and, on the cover itself, a two-colored mask. Now the cover features a hilarious cat and an artist rabbit. The mask has moved onto the inside front-cover. The title-page and frontispiece are identical in the two versions. The bibliographical material on the verso of the title-page has been drastically reduced here, and there seems to be no reference to 1968. From there on, direct comparison becomes difficult. There are common pages, like 11 here matching 7 there. Frequently, the gray background of 1968 yields to a black background here, as on 23 here as against 19 there. This printing includes orange dots or partial dots at the bottom of text pages; they were not in the 1968 version. Mikhalkov lives! I have no doubt that I will soon find an updated version of this very book.
