Abstract
This large-format (8¾” x 11¾”) book offers three stories: “The Lion and the Rabbit”; “The Stork and the Crab”; and “The Blue Jackal.” There are several full-page colored illustrations per story. The first story deviates from versions I have known by having the rabbit up for the lion’s regulated offering on the very second day of the overall contract with the animals. This rabbit as he arrives late tells the lion that the rabbits had sent six rabbits but that another lion has eaten the other five. The lion leaps into the well, crashes his head against the rocks and so dies in the well. This crab kills the stork in mid-flight near the stork’s killing rock. This blue jackal manages to escape after revealing himself by his howling. Formerly owned by the Howard County Public Library in Maryland.
