Abstract

en_US This 8½ x 11 book reworks in larger format with illustrations the plays that Cullum first presented in Aesop in the Afternoon (1972). See my comments there. The only changes I can perceive touch gender-inclusive language and the dropping of some fables. Thus, as to the first point, The Child and the Nuts and The Child Who Went into the River have substituted child for boy. The Shepherd and the Wolf used to have boy in its title defining the shepherd. Bowman has become Archer. These fables--and others?--make the appropriate changes within the fable texts. As to the second point, a number of fables have been dropped: The Donkey and the Wolf, The Serpent and the Eagle, The Lion, the Wolf, and the Fox, The Mouse and the Frog, The Donkey, the Rooster and the Lion, The Doe and the Lion, The Mother and the Wolf, The Dogs and the Fox, and The Hawk and the Pigeons. This edition adds illustrations for each fable. They take up the major portion of an 8½ x 11 page. They seem sentimental and almost childish to me. The two travelers in TB are pictured as rabbits (50). See also my second copy, also listed under 1993, but apparently from the sixth printing and listed as from a different publisher.
