Abstract
This is one of four spiral-bound 24-page booklets from a series of 8 for which I am guessing a year of publication of about 1950. In the first half, left-hand pages feature monochrome illustrations; on the right are full-page illustrations. The second half reverses the pattern. The animals gather in a major festivity to choose and crown a king. The monkey delights them most and gets crowned. The fox leads him into a trap and, soon enough, the fox is speaking to all the animals while the disgraced monkey slinks away weeping. Our collection has several of a set of eighteen pamphlets from the same publisher, listed there as Agkyra, apparently published in 1975 and reprinted in 1979. Texts may be the same, but the art appears to be different, though perhaps by the same artist.
