* 뉴욕타임즈 Best Illustrated Book
뜻밖의 행운을 얻게 된 한 돼지 부부의 우습지만 기발한 이야기입니다.
어느날 Boark가 아내 Sowk에게 물었습니다. 내가 당신을 기쁘게 하려면 어떻게 해야 하지? Sowk가 "가서 냄새를 맡고 통통하고 맛있는 뿌리들을 캐어 오세요."라고 대답했습니다.
그래서 착한 남편 Boark는 나무 밑둥의 냄새를 맡으러 다녔습니다. 그러다 정말 커다란 송로(버섯의 일종)를 발견했습니다.
Sowk는 Boark에게 송로를 비싸게 팔아서 커다란 사륜마차를 사자고 이야기했습니다.둘은 시장을 향해 출발했습니다.
아, 저런! Sowk는 너무나 욕심이 많았습니다. 그래서 송로가 한 개가 남을 때까지 먹어버리고 말았습니다.
비록 많은 돈을 벌기는 어렵게 되었지만 남편 Boark는 남은 한개의 송로를 팔아 얻은 동전으로 작은 손수레에 아내 Sowk(이제 사람들이 Lady Muck이라 부르게 되었어요^^)를 태워 집으로 향했습니다.
왼쪽에는 은은한 수채화와 오른쪽에는 굵은 터치의 목판화로 그린 그림이 재치있는 유머러스한 내용의 글에 잘 곁들여집니다.

Publisher's Weekly
This British import about two piggies going to market develops into a grand tug-of-war between greed and gluttony. At first Spowk and Boark, the old married porks, with their awkward airs of gentility, seem devoted to each other. However, when Boarky digs "fat sweet rooties" for his lady love and discovers a cache of truffles, his own appetite cries "all mine, all miney." So begins a comedy of mutual deception behind the curtain of marital courtesies. The upended language of Mayne's sophisticated text will either thrill or baffle youngsters ("What did you find... with your scrapy and snuffly and your dig, tusk, dig?"). Fittingly pig-like, its invented vocabulary rings with a strange authenticity. Although eating truffles pleases Sowky "from silk ear to scratch back," she convinces her hubby to deny the palate and sell them for "goldy round money." But, among the "family" of truffles in Sowky's basket, the "babby" rolls around, is "frighted," and "jumps" into Sowky's mouth, "running down the red lane to tummy, and happy there." This marks the beginning of a slow feast, each consumed truffle being met by Sowky's hilarious rationalizations. Heale's bold woodcuts and pale-washed watercolors join the antiquated charms of Mayne's narrative to create an original and rich read-aloud experience. Ages 5-9. (Mar.)
School Library Journal
K-Gr 2Mayne is at his fanciful best in telling this story of two very droll pigs, with very human aspirations. Boark and his loving wife, Sowk, feel they were born to have a better life than can be found in the muddy wood. When Boark sniffs out a nest of heavenly smelling, juicy truffles, Sowk wants to sell them and buy a coach in which they can "ride about the country, grand as duchy and duchessy." Boark proves to be of stronger character than his wife, who eats all but one of the truffles on the way to the market. He takes the small coin he gets for the last one and buys a wheelbarrow for his wife to ride in. Sowk still feels their status has been elevated because now the neighbors call her Lady Muck. Mayne uses alliteration, coy diminutives, and pleasing rhythmic couplets of invented words to create a language of his own, though there are echoes of Carroll and Lear. The whimsical humor and the rich new sounds make it immediately appealing to those who love to play with invented words and odd endingssuch as "his jaws to bite, chew and chewy, and throat to swallow-swallowy!" With a little practice, the story reads beautifully. However, it might be easier for children to appreciate the unusual language if they first encounter it in small-group settings, or as a lap book. The large, colored woodcuts make Boark and his Lady Muck come to life in all their porky beautydrools, rolls of fat, and all. The woodcuts and the soft watercolor illustrations also draw readers into the picturesque English countryside. A book to return to again and again.Virginia Golodetz, St. Michael's College, Winooski, VT
Kirkus Reviews
From Mayne (Pandora, 1996, etc.), the arch tale of two pigs in search of swine ambrosia—truffles.
When Boark roots up a rich hoard of truffles, his mate Sowk hones in quickly on his treasure. Instead of gobbling them up immediately, the pigs put off gustatory pleasures and decide to take the mushrooms to market, and buy a coach with their earnings. On the road Sowk feels sympathy for the "babbiest" mushroom, and gobbles it down. Soon other truffles join the first in her belly, rather than pine away with loneliness for their relative. By the time Boark takes notice, only one big truffle remains. He assumes it (not Sowk) ate the others, so they sell it, to buy not a carriage, but a wheelbarrow. Sowk gets her ride home, and when the wheelbarrow breaks, she's perfectly happy to land in the mud. Boark never learns the truth, and croons, "You are my Sowky, Sowk, Sowk, and all lovely with muddy, my true Lady Muck," as the story comes to a close. The illustrations mix softly colored scenes with robust and funny woodcuts that show the indulgent pigs' antics. But the heavily sentimental language (" `Don't it please my Sowk, my Sowky dear, to eat a truffly from her hubby? Just one truffly?' `It please her dreadful,' said Sowk. `It please her from silk ear to scratch back' "), though inventive, will turn off readers who have no sweet tooth for dialect.
Booklist
Ages 5^-8. To appreciate the adventures of Sowk the pig and her husband, Boark, one must lean into the language as a pig rolls around in the mud--which happens quite a bit in this quirky tale. Boark is an amiable fellow: "What can I do to please and happy you, my Sowky dear?" Sowk has a ready answer: "Go snuffly and diggy fat sweet rooties." That will happy her "from grunt to squeal." So Boark digs and finds the tastiest treat of all, truffles. A greedy Boark is ready to gobble the truffles himself, but Sowk finds him. She suggests selling the valuable truffles for "goldy," so the duo set off to market. Alas, Sowk has a greedy streak herself and finds all manner of creative excuses to secretly eat truffles until there is only one left. Bewildered Boark uses the slim profit to buy a wheelbarrow to push home his "Lady Muck"--until it splits in two, and the pigs wind up muddy once more. It's not easy to find a book that mixes the low comedy of dirt and pratfalls with the elegance and exhilaration of language well used. Combine all this with Heale's bold woodcuts (paired with softer watercolors on the text pages), and readers will find this a book that pleasures them from grunt to squeal. Ilene Cooper |
