Abstract
-
en_US
I am surprised to find a children's illustrated pamphlet presenting Iriarte. I thought -- and think -- that he presents more adult stuff. The very first fable is brief and telling: The spider praises its quick work; the silkworm answers: Just so! The Ostrich and Camel (10) is witty but politically incorrect. Why do these two of the stupidest animals praise each other? The fox answers after lots of other answers are in: because they both come from Moorish territory! The Rooster, the Pig, and the Lamb (22) has good advice to offer: authors lay down axioms for others mainly because those axioms fit what they like best. The linnet challenges the swan to sing, and the latter agrees. Her screeching and squalling drove the linnet away. Some highly regarded people similarly mar their ill-placed praise by showing how ignorant they are. There is a simple illustration on every other pair of pages in this 32-page pamphlet with one staple. 5 x 6¾. The front and back covers work together to provide a broad landscape picture of an injured crow, a lizard, and some spectating animals. I do not know which fable, if any, this illustration matches.
