Abstract

en_US Here is a small-press version of which I had not known earlier. It includes nine illustrations in the text and one of TH on the dust-jacket. Perhaps the best of the illustrations is TMCM on 67. I read perhaps the first third of these verse fables. Several fables are presented in surprising, new ways. DM, e.g., seems to be less about selfish hoarding of what we cannot use and more about being rudely awakened (4). The cow here is able to eat placidly around the dog! In The Nurse and the Wolf (11) an older nurse recommends to a young wife that she use the wolf-ploy to get a child to mind. The Angler and the Little Fish is not about taking what you have available now but rather about being caught by a bait (18). The young man who sees the swallow still has some money left on this November day but squanders it because he hears a swallow's summer song early in the day (21). A crane who has to hear a peacock's insults consoles himself by gazing into a keg where he has hoarded up savings (23). This book needed an editor. Thus there is a Forward (v), and we find dreampt (4), its as the contraction of noun and verb (9, 16), once lay a golden egg in the past tense (10), and wizzard (10). There is a T of C at the front.
