Abstract
-
en_US
This is one of four four-page cardboard books found -- luckily! -- on eBay. After a full cover picture, each booklet puts a rectangle of text inside a frame of subsequent images on each of the next three pages. Here the cover shows a peacock looking down in disdain on a jackdaw with peacock feathers in his tail. The comment from the rejecting jackdaws when he returns to them is better articulated than it is in most versions of this story: Had you been contented with what nature made you, you would not have been punished by your superiors and your equals would not despise you now. This jackdaw had tied some feathers to his tail.
