Abstract

en_US
Here is a version of a book already catalogued, but found at the same time and in the same place as my first copy. This version is slightly larger, has better color on its front cover, and has a pictured back cover. It seems to be a regular binding rather than the library binding of my first copy. As I wrote then, since a version of this fable appears as Perry 649, I will include this lovely little book. This hare is particularly contemptuous of the hedgehog. Watson cleverly writes of the hedgehog's anger he can bear anything but an attack on his legs, just because they are crooked by nature (12). When they have bet, the hedgehog cleverly asks for a half-hour to go home and eat breakfast before the actual race. Watson introduces the farmer early by having the hedgehog go out on a Sunday morning to see how his turnips were coming along in the farmer's garden. A few pages later, we begin to see the furrows of the farm itself. At the start of the race (20), we see the full extent of the field's furrows. A race lasts one furrow, and the hare keeps asking for a rerun until they have completed seventy-three runs. Watson has the hedgehog keep tally on a rock. (The tally is correct, by the way!) Finally the hare gives up before he can finish the seventy-fourth.
