More DescriptionThe condensed version of this short story is in a style called freeform poetry. This brief prosodic prose tale is da' abridged version, I mean, in proper, the abridged version, a shortened, somewhat cropped tail of a tale that is appropriately entitled "A Sheep Tale Unveiled In Color." And so it is a visually appealing book having colorful illustrations that make up the guts, entrails, and innards of the book. This book is basically an extraction from a previous tale that starts out on a grand ranch, an animal farm "with a little bit o' charm" as the opening line states. The book is full of rhyme and reason from the mouths of personified and lyrical animals, some goats and sheep, who recite poetry, rap, sing some songs and chant an ode or two. The essence of the tale alludes to wisdom being more valuable than a "little bit o' bling", like some gold, and of course some of the um' platinum too. The simple, yet poetically inclined plot proceeds with primarily two main characters, a big, beautiful and wise sheep that spontaneously spews forth a discourse, at times, of eloquent allegories, allusions, while doting on some anecdotes along with a quote or two or maybe some of her own to prove a point or two, too. The big sheep tried to mentor a young little sheep that sports a knotty unattractive coat o' wool. The short story continuous at the two sheep seek out a vineyard and end up a little lost but unconcerned as they find their little paradise on the other side of a little, crystal, blue river that did flow and go and roll around and did completely surround the vineyard. They are then sought out as two lost sheep by some sheepherders looking high and low for them out in the farm, that so called pampas pasture' just to bring them back for the yearly shear. After that is the dramatic twist of fate and plot that occurs as to what is in store for their reward after the harrowing yearly shear that the animals don't particularly care for. The story ends as the animals wag their literal tails, while living their literary tale, while walking off into the sunset out on the "grand ranch". The book is not only spiced with rhyme and meter and time, but also contains a little alliteration, with salting of some Bible quotes, and a peppering of a few quotations and titles from books from some familiar, literary figures, which is all a type of "literary sampling" in a sense. As stated above, in the first part of this expositional expose summation of a summary, the story contains colorful illustrations that help to enrich the storyline and imbue the story with that special artistic element that lends the work a more in depth experience. The picture illustrations may also say, as it has been said, a thousand or so words and so this, in essence, helps to really enrich and vivify, while tying together the story in a much more picturesque, appealing, and revealing way, giving the book a much more artistic look.
