Abstract
-
en_US
Here are fifty dramatizations of well-known stories in a thick book of 584 pages. Among them I find three fables. TMCM by Rowena Bennett (43) is enacted in rhyming couplets. The version is well done. It is at its best at the top of 48 where the two mice are talking at cross purposes and hardly listening to each other. The Soup Stone (405) by Mary Nygaard Peterson has the clever traveler getting all the ingredients he needs from one family. He often does it by spying what they have and then working his way around to a suggestion that some of this ingredient would not hurt, even though his soup would already be very good without it. The Tiger and the Brahman (446) by Shirley Simon is especially well done in that the jackal's apparent inability to understand that the tiger was in the cage leads the tiger himself to jump into the cage to show him. Thereupon the jackal immediately closes the door. Cage closed; case closed.
