Abstract
-
en_US
This is a thirty-page landscape-formatted children's book presenting one story, the Korean folktale about the liver of a clever hare. The underwater king needs a liver to recuperate. The tortoise gets his acquaintance the hare to ride on his back. This event may be the source of a representation I have often puzzled over: the hare rides on the back of the tortoise. That representation does not fit the Aesopic TH story. The hare, here delivered to the underwater kingdom and bound up, tells the creatures that he left his liver at home. The turtle brings him back. Once the turtle releases the hare, purportedly to get his liver, the hare mocks the turtle, who now can do nothing. The art work is vivid, colorful, and simple. It looks as though it were done with fingerpaints, with subsequent lines scratched into the surface of the paint.
