Abstract

en_US
This is a fascinating, curious, lovely book found waiting on the counter at Daedalus as I was ready to pay for other books. It gives a sampling of two outstanding artists of Mexican children's books: Manuel Manilla (1839-1895) and Jose Guadalupe Posada (1852-1913). A late chapter, Animal Fables/Animales de fábulas, reports that fables of wolf versus fox were particularly prominent. Besides those fables, this chapter offers illustrations, covers, and pages from El Leon y el grillito; Cucarachita Monginga y raton Perez; La Rana y el raton; De la Subida mas alta y la caida mas lastimosa; Los Ratones tontos y el gato astuto; and El Grillito valeroso. The book has a half dust-jacket, which also serves as an envelope for a little copy of El Rey y sus tres hijos. Lovely stuff!
