Abstract
I see thirty-one listings in the T of C at the (Japanese) beginning, but it seems to me that there are many more fables than that here. The illustrations on the box and cover are simple but nice. The three full-color illustrations at the beginning of the book are only satisfactory. The second of them, like the box (and book?) cover, presents The Chic Fox, a story like OF, in which the fox tries to stretch himself in the dragon's cave to be his same length and strength. The fox rips himself apart. The other animals, who have watched from the cave's entrance, comment that he should not have tried to be a dragon. The story is on 87-92. There are many black-and-white illustrations in the text. Perhaps the best of these is a tree-top view of the dung-beetle rolling an egg out of the tree (29).
