Abstract
-
en_US
My reading of most of the first of the five books suggests that this book's claim to be a complete Panchatantra in comics is valid. Not all of the stories in the first book have all the wit that they can have. For example, the jackal knows drums but still thinks that there must be great food inside this one. In Ramsay Wood's version, I think it is the loudness of the sound that suggests that there must be significant innards in this unknown animal. The Dimna character here is more explicitly devious and gives out his plans beforehand more than the Dimna in Wood's version. The story of regulated sacrifice to the lion lacks some of the complexity of Wood's version, like viewing the cousin rabbit in the well's water-mirror. The cartoon work is fine, however, and it is great to have an accessible visual version of the Panchatantra. 9¼ x 12½.
