Abstract
-
en_US
This book consists of nine folk tales highlighted by photographs of collages of cloth, photographs, and other materials; the fabric borders of each story's collage are then repeated on each page of the story. Among the nine is Red Dragon/Blue Dragon, a version of the old Monkey's Heart story from India. This version shows some new twists: the nightingale suggests the ploy, a plum is substituted for the monkey's heart, the dragon and his wife both accept the plum as a heart, the two dragons bore themselves to extinction, and the monkey learns to be satisfied with his regular old life.
