Abstract

en_US This is a strong edition of Monterroso's work, starting from the front dust-jacket's The General on a Horse painting. Are the frequent black-and-white illustrations here from Santillana Ediciones Generales (2011)? I wrote there The standard -- wonderful! -- fables are here illustrated with generic clip-art illustrations of animals. There is something either very right or very wrong about that mode of illustration! One other possible source for the images is Doubleday's The Black Sheep and Other Fables (1971). The illustrations there are taken from Dover's 1800 Woodcuts by Thomas Bewick and His School (1962). The verso of the title-page here seems to point to a 1983 La Oveja Negra source. There is an index of proper and geographical names and then Bjurman's afterword, apparently on Monterroso as a fabulist. There is also a T of C at the beginning of the book. I am always happy to pay homage to Monterroso! I now have Monterroso's fables in English, Spanish, Latin, and Swedish.
