Ferdinand in World Games (1987)

In the video game World Games (video game) the easiest Bull to ride in the Bull Riding is named "Ferdinand" in honour of Ferdinand the Bull. Could this be added to the "Appearances in Popular Culture" section please? Tiwaking (talk) 20:55, 4 September 2014 (UTC)

Publication vs Civil War

Life Magazine 21. Feb. 1938, page 46: "Published by Viking Press in September 1936". Ferdinand the Bull's 50th Anniversary: "published on September 11, 1936"

Spanish Civil War broke out 17 July 1936.

Ergo, the statement "The book was released nine months before the outbreak of the Spanish Civil War" must be incorrect.

Reviews and academic analyses

A number of people have published analyses of the book, not always entirely seriously, but mostly with affection. For example, see Katarzyna Marciniak's "Et in Arcadia Ferdinand: The Mythical Victory of an Extraordinary Bull" (with lots of related citations), starting on page 247 of Spain – India – Russia: Centres, Borderlands, and Peripheries of Civilisations - Anniversary Book Dedicated to Professor Jan Kieniewicz on His 80th Birthday; Editors: Jan Stanisław Ciechanowski & Cristina González Caizán, Faculty of “Artes Liberales” of the University of Warsaw, Wydawnictwo Naukowe Sub Lupa, Warsaw 2018 ( http://www.omc.obta.al.uw.edu.pl/files/The_Story_of_Ferdinand.pdf ).
