Abstract
-
en_US
This 52-page magazine is vintage 70's stuff. Psychedelic patterns abound in the background of the pictures as kids play with stuffed animals. Rosemary Winston's statement on the first page works to make sense of the connection with animals without ever mentioning fable. Rhyming poems accompany pictures of kids dressed up in knit fashions. Thus with a picture of a boy and girl with a rooster and cow one reads Four friends of rural estate/Engaged in uneven debate/With cock to preside/And calf to decide/the merits of chicken or steak (5). The non-photographic pages seem to give instructions on how to knit the garments in the pictures. There actually is a prose fable on 28 about a social climbing lion who cultivated the company of two stylish sisters only to learn that their clothes were knit inexpensively. Humbled by this lesson, he gave up pretention in favor of good company and the three became fast friends. Moral: what one finds by chance is often superior to what one seeks. One could say of fable with Dr. Seuss, My, the places you will go!
