Abstract
-
en_US
This is a large-format book of thirty fables occuring two to each pair of pages. Often one smaller fable is presented in a box inserted into the two-page illustration for a larger fable. The illustrations are colorful, splashy, dramatic, and up-to-date. Among my favorites in a book I am coming to like a great deal are both the stuck wagon and the old woman on 6-7; BW on 12; the cat dressed up as a nurse on 14; CW on 25; and the old woman overseeing her early-rising maids on 31. Ludlow shows a good gift for realism in depicting human beings. A panther is the attacker who interrupts the stag at the pool (18). The chase in CW is wisely set in the garden rather than in the bedroom (25).
