Abstract
After struggling through the rhyming French verse, I discovered that I had the original English of this square paperbound print-upon-demand book in its 2019 edition. As I wrote there, the cover shows on its cover the fox in the midst of the many characters he will meet in here. The artistry deals in heavily outlined two-dimensional figures without much individualization. The T of C is a map promising nine specific stops on the hungry fox's journey. In the journey, very long sentences -- not lines -- rhyme. Fox finds a good welcome with each animal but spoils it by his greed, laziness, or other vices. The most active illustration is on 22-23, when mother elephant tosses the deceitful fox away from her baby elephant's pail of milk. In the last episode, a kind owl offers the fox food and reviews with him the lessons he has learned. Each episode here is more of a fable in the traditional sense than is the episodic collection of them.
