Abstract
This pamphlet joins the eleven others in this series. Each is a fine bilingual booklet of 12 pages. The art is especially detailed and supportive of the text. The text appears in a few lines on each page. The English sometimes is not idiomatic, as in when the nightingale, begging for her chicks' lives, addresses the hawk as the great hawk. English does not use the article there. The moral is also surprising in form: The man who harms other will be harmed in return. Here a hunter hears the pleading mother and mortally wounds the attacking hawk, who has just expressed himself dissatisfied with the mother's song. Earlier he had promised that a good song from her would protect her chicks. As in the other pamphlets of this series, the art is strong and dynamic. Here the two central pictures (6-7 and 8-9) express this dynamism well in the hawk's attack and the arrow's thrust, respectively. This entire pamphlet consists of double-page illustrations, all well done. The back cover illustrates the whole series of The Fables of Aesop.
