When Is a Curtain Not a Curtain?

  The Lion and the Stoat by Paul O. Zelinsky

My rating: 3 of 5 stars



 Now that the poetry thing is over, I can start back putting my reviews here. I'm sure you all missed them.
Zelinsky has put together (having adapted some of it from Pliny the Elder's Natural History) a fine story about competition, ego, and art.  The lion and stoat are artists who compete with each other on three separate occasions.  In the end they decide to not compete with each other any more ... at least not in art.  The illustrations are charming as well - especially the "nude" tigers.
