La Oveja negra y demas fábulas

Abstract

Monterroso's work seems to be much reproduced. I now have editions produced in the USA, Mexico, Nicaragua, Guatemala, Great Britain, and (here) Spain. La Oveja Negra seems to have been copyrighted and originally published in 1969. The first edition of the present version was published in 2007; this is the fourth Edicion, which I believe means fourth printing in this context. The standard -- wonderful! -- fables are here illustrated with generic clip-art illustrations of animals. There is something either very right or very wrong about that mode of illustration! There is an index of proper and geographical names and then a T of C at the back of the book. I am always happy to pay homage to Monterroso!
