- Abstract
- en_US It is curious that there is no teller at all acknowledged for this story. I am also amazed to find this account of Bidpai's Shanzaba story in an American kids' book from sixty years ago! There is some pencilling, e.g., on 10, 12, and 14; there are also some torn pages. Very few fables are included within the story; I notice only The Serpent and the Crow on 12 and The Rich Man's Parrot on 32. The black-and-white art is simple and strong. The best illustrations may be of Dimna whispering in Shanzaba's ear on 17 and of the first encounter of battle on 21. Shanzaba dies proclaiming his innocence. The lion carries the guilt, while Dimna fears that Kaleel will betray him and thus discusses the matter. The leopard listens in. Dimna stands down all accusers in court until the leopard reports on the overheard conversation.
