Abstract

en_US
The T of C at the front lists about ten fables in this large, cheap-paper book. The surprise comes when a reader finds out that 205-84 are missing! How did these extra pages fit into this book? Thre three fables that are left turn out to be unusual tellings. In AL (57), the emperor orders that Androcles be kept in prison until a lion big enough can be found to eat him in one bite. On the fourth morning, they lead Androcles out into a lion's den, and there crowds gather to watch what happens. Not all of this seems to me to fit together.... In FC (84), the crow finds the cheese in a rat-trap under the chicken coop, where the fox could have found it. The fox is angry that he did not find it first. In MSA (151), the two are taking the donkey to town to buy food for dinner. A good repeater line in this version is Why, I/we had not thought of that. There is a simple line-drawing for AL and MSA. I would have loved to see how other stories are handled!
