Abstract

en_US
Here is a small-format (4¾ x 7) paperback book of 128 pages presenting some twenty-eight fables after an introductory section Vishnusarman and the Princes. There are a number of typos and curiosities along the way, starting with an alternate spelling Vishnusharman two pages earlier in the T of C and two pages later in a page header. About half of the stories are traditional stories that appear in the Panchatantra and in Kalila and Dimna. Others are surprising, like the version of MSA that shows up on 85; this version uses a cart for the donkey. The situation causes a bystander to say The donkey should carry load (85). The Foolish Friend (103) has a sword-bearing monkey and a king for the Aesopic fable's solitary gardener and protective bear. The end result is the same. FM (45) seems to me another Aesopic fable that has made it into an originally different collection. New to me and very good: The Young Rat's Curiosity (27). He is stupid enough to make a hole in a basket containing a snake. Among the better illustrations presents The Heron and the Crab (38).
