Abstract
The presentation of the four fables here (The Fox, the Eagle, and the Fire; The Lion, the Hare, and the Gazelle; The Archer and the Trapped Eagle; and The Fox with the Burning Tail) is consistent with the presentation of others in this series. The series itself seems to keep growing. The back covers of several of the booklets extend the series through their number but only that far. That is the case here again. As elsewhere, one design echoes the facing full page. In this version of The Archer and the Trapped Eagle, the eagle steals the archer's lunch, not his cap, in order to draw him away from the spot where a boulder is about to fall (30). As it happens, this little volume features two stories of fox and fire. The earlier one provides the cover picture, but the picture unfortunately conflates two phases of its story. The fox threatening the eagle with fire does not have her cubs on the ground watching her. They are the eagle's captives in his nest and his potential next meal. Copyright 1992 Anime Kikaku.
