Abstract
A very nice little booklet of five Aesopic fables by a fabulist of whom I had not known. Campoamor died in 1901. He wrote fables in his teens and early twenties. In The Concert of the Animals, the presence of a director (the lion) turns the animals' noise into music. Carambola seems to be about a chain reaction: a child pulls the tail of a cat, whose claws dig into a mule, whose hooves kick the child. The Sparrows describes a standoff between one bird inside and another outside a cage. The question concerns opening the door and supplying food from inside the cage. Children and Parents shows a victory of insight over force. Instead of dragging a mother goat and thus leaving her child behind, carry the child. The mother will follow. In Parents and Children, parent birds feed their caged children, but freed children forget their caged parents.
