Abstract
Reviewed by: The Lion and the Unicorn and Other Hairy Tales by Jane Ray Kate Quealy-Gainer, Assistant Editor Ray, Jane, comp. The Lion and the Unicorn and Other Hairy Tales; comp. and illus. by Jane Ray. Boxer Books, 2015 176p ISBN 978-1-910126-38-7 $19.95 Recently received: Following previous similarly styled collections, The Little Mermaid and Other Fishy Tails and The Emperor’s Nightingale and Other Feathery Tales, Ray shifts her focus from the from sea and sky to land, centering this collection of stories, poems, and song lyrics on tales from beasts. Eleven entries are coupled with illustrations that are a huge departure from her famous gilded colors; monochromic or dicrhomatic etchings vary in texture and design, sometimes echoing medieval woodblocks, sometimes creating understated contemporary comedy. This offers material storytellers can mine, and it might also make a stylish gift book. [End Page 554] Copyright © 2016 The Board of Trustees of the University of Illinois
