Abstract

en_US
What a delight to find the new approach to Aesop! This book of 64 pages, 9" square, presents five fables, as the closing T of C shows. The subtitle is accurate: "A Thematic Selection from Aesop's Fables." The theme here is birds. Several stories come straight out of Aesop, while others are Aesopic but new in form. "Peacock and Crane" is the Aesop's story about beauty as less valuable than the ability to fly. "Eagle" is about the bird wounded by feathers; this version specifies a point often unclear: it is about being put in danger by one's relatives. The feather came not from the eagle himself but from his family. The hawk will not pass up eating the nightingale he has caught in hopes of a bigger meal. A hunter disturbs geese and cranes feeding together. The geese, who are caught, are like rich people, less mobile than the poor. The first story is the newest: a kingfisher escapes the wintry sea to birth chicks on a rock, only to find the rock a more dangerous place than the hostile place she has fled. The title-page adds a QR code to an online animated video of "Geese and Cranes."
