Seller's Description:
New York. 1986. October 1986. Dial Press. 1st Edition. Very Good in Dustjacket. 0803702914. Illustrated by Tony Ross. unpaginated. hardcover. Cover art by Tony Ross. keywords: Children's Books. FROM THE PUBLISHER-Contemporary retellings of six fables from Aesop, including ‘The Fox and the Crow, ' ‘The Stag and his Mirrors, ' and ‘The Hare and the Tortoise.'. In his own inimitable style, Ross has ‘modernized' six of Aesop's fables all but one featuring a fox. In a raucous voice, the audacious crow in ‘The Fox and the Crow' sings ‘Madame Butterfly' and ‘Tiptoe Through the Tulips' to a strolling fox in gentlemanly garb. A boastful tortoise in a bar vows that he's more skilled at running than the clumsy hare, who, during the arranged race, knocks himself unconscious by banging his head on a low tree branch, thus allowing the tortoise to win the race. Such is the humor that Ross employs in both stories and illustrations a tactic that will certainly elicit scorn from purists. These fables bear no morals; indeed they seem to be written purely for entertainment. The visages both wily and foolish of the humorous cartoon-like characters that adorn this book (drawn in watercolor with pen-and-ink) bear out this feeling. '-SCHOOL LIBRARY JOURNAL.
