Abstract

This 8.5 x 11 magazine includes The Lion and the Crocodile: An Old Fable retold well by Glennda Sherman. The illustration is by Katharine Dodge. I do not remember coming on this fable elsewhere. The lion and the crocodile agree to be kings--and to acknowledge the other as king--in their different realms. There is a nice, small-print moral (wisdom is power) underneath the illustration. Only one who has plowed through stacks of old magazines can know the patience and perseverance it takes to make a find like this!
