Savage, Carlson Natalie (1961). The Song of the Lop-eared Mule. Harper & Brothers. 82 Seiten.
Both men and beast were overworked in the small Spanish town of San Antonio. And Fedro, the mule, worked as hard as any animal. But Fedro was as content as a mule can be until the day, he realized that his master, El Bigote, had tricked him. Raising his head in mournful song, Fedro ran away. But his new life with the gypsies was useless and unpleasant, and his next owner – a traveling actor – had no respect for the dignity of a mule. So, Fedro ran away again. But this time he ran towards San Antonio and El Bigote.
Natalie Savage Carlson, who has so brilliantly captured the moods of the countries she has written about, has suffused this story with the flavor of Spain. Fedro’s adventures and misadventures, with their heart-warming climax, are beautifully pictured by Janina Domanska, and words and pictures make a book wich young readers will find deeply satisfying.
