Stringing together four familiar tales, Lowry tells how a fox dupes three other animals and then is duped in return. In outline, the stories are as usual, though updated a bit. Lowry's spacious, elegant gouache and pencil art features simply drawn yet expressive figures reenacting the events in settings enlivened with just a few interesting details. Altogether, an inviting introduction to Aesop.
