Abstract
-
en_US
I admit that I have read only two pages of this book (154-5). It seems a non-stop barrage of one-liners. The author does indeed, as the cover illustration suggests, take the bull by the horns! I picked the book up because its frontispiece of Aesop's fox and crow depicts the book's insight: The fox admires the cheese, not the raven (154). My two pages had lots of good zingers in them, like He who believes in promises made at elections has long ears, and may try to eat thistles. I suspect there are many more fable-related proverbs along the way in the book, but for now I will let someone else find them. This printing represents the 544th thousand.
