Abstract
The best image in the pamphlet may be the last: the tortoise takes an earthward fall. On the opposite page a large group of frogs, squirrels, and birds look on. The crane and the tortoise in their respective fables wear human clothing. The art has a psychedelic touch. I think that the art is at its best when facing pages complement each other: the wolf dismisses the crane; the tortoise "flies" over a whole village; and that group of animals witnesses the last fall.
