Abstract
-
en_US
This is a Penguin-like paperback containing 313 fables. There is a T of C at the front. I can find no particular source for the texts. There is a problem on 219-220: the story is abbreviated on 219, while 220 presents a middle-section of the story without connection to the preceding or following page. The Farmer and the Snake (12) has a good moral: The greatest benefits will not bind the ungrateful. To render the kid for The Kid and the Wolf (53), the artist puts a child standing on the roof! The frequent illustrations are perhaps too packed with data for the small space they occupy. The artist likes movement-lines around characters, and frequently there are swirling leaves in outdoor scenes. Among the best and most typical illustrations are those for DM (27), The Old Woman and the Wine Jar (79), and The Bald Man and the Fly (248).
