Abstract
-
en_US
This book opens with a surprise by presenting not OF but UP as its first story, which concludes “It’s a sweet pleasure to see a deceiver take her leave!” (The fox here has been referred to as masculine, so the feminine in this comment is a bit surprising.) “The Lion Grown Old” finishes with the sick old lion’s comment to the donkey: “Oh, no! To be bested by you would be twice the defeat!” OF uses La Fontaine’s measure of the frog’s size: an egg. This version has only the ox and the frog. The ox responds that the frog has gotten big. “But that’s enough now, friend!” There is no more conversation, but only puffing and bursting. Nine stiff cardboard pages inside similar cardboard covers, 6¼" square.
