Fraser, William Alexander. [Sa’-Zada tales.] [†]$2. Scribner.
“Stories supposed to be told by the animals in a ‘Zoo’ in India. The keeper, Sa’ (or Sahib) Zada, in the warm summer nights lets the animals out of their cages, and brings them together to tell stories.... Each of the animals in turn tells of his life in the jungle and how he came to be captured.... They indulge in repartee and sometimes in bad temper, but they are on the whole a happy family, united by their love for their keeper. The book is strikingly illustrated by Arthur Heming.”—Outlook.
