Abstract

en_US
Here is the Gaelic translation of Usborne's 2003 edition of Watson and Price's original work of 1982. Except for the language, the book seems identical. Let me add some of my comments from there. Like the 2003 Aesop's Fables edition, this fine little book builds off of Usborne's excellent 1982 Aesop's Fables. The layout in these later booklets is different: from a larger-format pamphlet of 24 pages with five or six panels per page, we have a standard portrait-format paperback book of 64 pages, with only one or two illustrations per page. A number of illustrations from the earlier book are thus left out--e.g., two of the original nine in the first story, TH, or one of the original eight for the next story, The Crow and the Jug. Some of the original pictures are cropped or extended tastefully to meet new requirements here. DM and GA are skipped entirely. A new introduction is added, complete with two illustrations of Aesop. There is also a lively fox facing the Gaelic vocabulary on 63. As I mentioned back then, this book presents good series of lively sequential cartoons. I think Nick Price's work is fascinating and fun! Kenny's Bookshop had a discount sale and free shipping, and I found three books in the shop's holdings!
