Abstract

en_US The endpapers for all four volumes in this set contain the same four designs, one for each book's title-story. This volume contains LM, FK, BW, and DM. The mouse is playful and apparently knows what he is doing when running up the sleeping lion's nose. The frogs in FK cried to the frog god (12). The story ends with his sending a stork to the pond. The lonely shepherd boy cries Wolf in order to get company. The dog in the manger could not fall asleep on the itchy straw, but was too lazy to move. Here the ox says You cannot eat the hay or use it for a bed, but still you will not let me enjoy it. You're mean and selfish (20). This medium-sized book slightly over 5 x 8 varies between smaller and full-page illustrations, perhaps done with acrylics. Among the best illustrations is that showing the lion's facial hairs in exquisite detail (9).
