   • 2007 June 17, Dominique Browning, “Into the Wood”, in New York Times‎^[1]:

     Then I got to the beasts — the foumart, the cur fox, the baboon, the Chillingham bull — and suddenly, gazing at a handsome illustration of a lion, I remembered, as a child, pulling down an impossibly heavy old leatherbound book of fables, full of magical drawings of wolves and crows and bears, intense in their detail while managing to leave much to the imagination.
