...affinity Plana, both first appearing as babes, enjoy lucky escapes, but little Epi, their companion, is seized by some young Hes and Shes and dies in captivity, piteously. The remaining ones cavort and chatter, their ears droop and rise, their whiskers twitch, and they meet various fates. Later appears Iago, an embittered dog who tried to go native but found he had no talent for it. He inadvertently assists Hops and Plana during a round-up hunt at which most of their companions perish. In late winter he again saves Plana, famished and freezing, by giving her shelter...
Fritz Leiber did not muff his production of Othello.
