"Long Ears: A Tale of Donkeys, Hares, and Pigs" In the quaint village of Jarvis Brook, Sussex, lightweight jockey Geraldine Hinson, only nine years old, will be riding a donkey with long ears. This charming sight reminds us of the famous limerick by Edward Lear - "There was an Old Man of Madras, who rode on a cream-coloured Ass. " Published in 1875 by Frederick Warne and Co. , this book filled with nonsense brings joy to readers even today. But donkeys are not the only creatures blessed with elongated auditory organs. The graceful hares also possess remarkable ears that can hear even the faintest rustle in their surroundings. An engraving from Fontaine Fables published in 1905 beautifully captures these magnificent features. Speaking of luck and chuckles, we stumble upon another enchanting tale from English Fairy Tales. In this story lies a woman who exclaims gleefully about her fortunate encounter. "Well. " she chuckled, "I am in luck. " Her excitement resonates through time as depicted in a captivating color lithograph from 1922. However, it's not just fairy tales that captivate our attention; animals too have their own anecdotes to share. A hundred stories compiled in 1924 reveal fascinating accounts of tame hares and other marvelous creatures like pigs with big ears. These engravings bring forth both joyous moments and somber expressions on these animal faces. One particular donkey born during Christmas stands out as an extraordinary event for baby donkeys usually arrive at different times. Its arrival symbolizes hope amidst unusual circumstances—a reminder that miracles can happen when least expected. As we delve into the world of animals further, we encounter adorable Basset Hound puppies and majestic Afghan Hounds whose long ears add elegance to their appearance. Each breed possesses its unique charm showcased through photographs capturing their endearing qualities.
