This classic story of a bull who loved to smell flowers (memorably opening with Once upon a Time in Spain) has lost none of its enchantment over the decades. The pen-and-ink drawings evoke with a few lines the pasture where Ferdinand lolled, the frightening men from the Madrid who came to take him away, and the landscapes and scenery of Spain. Originally published in 1936.  (SPN212, $7.99)
