Abstract

en_US Six fables appear as part of Animal Tales and Rhymes (130-92) in this very large children's compendium. There are some unusual turns in the versions presented. Thus in TH the hare felt a little out of breath, and his nap lasted for an hour. In The Fox and the Goat, the fox tumbled into the well by mistake; the appropriateness of the moral given here is questionable: Look before you leap. In TMCM, the TM woke up the CM because his straw mattress tickled, and there were noises outside. And the CM did not like to work. The kind of food was not a negative factor in the country. The CM got sick on the rich town food. The moral here is There's no place like home. In GA, there is a nice visual contrast between summer and winter; its last words are the music of the grasshopper was heard no more. The Elephant and the Mouse is a verse presentation of LM. In AL, it is a Roman governor who sets Androcles free, and there is no word about what happens to the lion. The art is simple throughout the book and sometimes (as in TH) confusing.
