Abstract
A magnificent large-format booklet. The six colored single-page pieces are breathtaking! In particular, the booklet makes great use of human clothes on its animals. Perhaps the most intriguing story and illustration is The Cat's Paw on the last page: the monkey coaxes the cat to help him but also physically takes the cat's paw and forces the cat despite shrieks of pain. The ass in a lion's skin is perhaps visually the best I have encountered. He is discovered by two lions who notice his strange ears. Significant staining. What a lucky find!
