Abstract
-
en_US
An engaging but frustrating book, done from a 1987 Japanese original. Uses Jones' 1912 edition for most of its English versions. The book's fiction is that a young fox finds the book and asks Mr. Fox to read it for him. He does so, giving his own idiosyncratic versions of the pictures, almost completely independent of the fables, which he cannot read. This fiction soon strains the reader. We are left with wonderful pictures and often maddening interpretations. The counterpoint approach, brilliant in itself, comes off best with Sour Grapes and FS. For many others, the joke wears out. Mercury is changed to Jupiter in the Woodcutter story. See the perceptive NY Times review enclosed.
