Abstract
There are twenty-seven fables here in rhyming Spanish verse. Two take up a double-page spread. All the others have one page apiece. There are seven Thurberesque drawings. Perhaps three of the best stories here are La Respuesta (25), El Zopilote y la Luciérnaga (27), and Pequeño consejero (34). An old brayer asked his shadow: 'Why do you always persecute me?' The burro halted an instant and the shadow answered: 'Since you are still alive' (25). A proud buzzard claimed that people took him for an aircraft, and a firefly promptly had no problem declaring that people thought her a star. A rabbit counseled a horse that mountain-climbing takes effort, but coming down costs only a smile. These are fun!
