Abstract
-
en_US
A delightful book. There is good wit in many of the fables: The Dance of the Fishes; The Mouse and Rat; The Donkey and the Nightingale; and especially in The Cat and the Starling; The Elephant in Favor; and The Swan, the Crab, and the Pike. A great illustration on the dust jacket also faces T of C: a soldier sees a monkey in the mirror. Other good illustrations include the portrait plate pages inside the covers (details from the individual sketches), The Quartet, and The Donkey and the Nightingale. I will keep in the collection a second copy with a dust jacket, a red cover, and medallions on the endpapers themselves.
