- Abstract
- en_US La Fontaine's texts are presented straight, a few lines per page, with accompanying footnotes for antiquated vocabulary. Hulne does an exquisite job of rendering the wolf's eye in the small opening allowed in the goats' door. In the case of La Fontaine's first fable here, the wolf has the password but not the proper paw. Better two proofs than one! The second fable comes from outside La Fontaine's traditional twelve books. Fox mocks squirrel, but squirrel learns not to mock the fox, chastened by his own experience of mockery. The art in this second fable is studiedly primitive. The best illustration contrasts the fox in his lair with the squirrel experiencing the worst of the storm up in the high branches.
