- Abstract
- en_US Here is one of four books in a series. The prose adaptation helps the reader to pick up La Fontaine's slant, I believe. It lays the story out more fully than La Fontaine's lapidary verse can. The illustrator gets us off to a lovely start here by having the fox licking a plate clean on the title-page. He may have done it for another dozen dishes stacked at his side. The narrator begins too with a strong choice. "Un renard était très avare." While two mice enjoy some cheese on the floor, the fox has forgotten about his guest. He licks up the soup with lots of noise, declares that it is time for a nap, and wishes the stork good-night. The stork waits a week to invite the fox. A late illustration has the fox balancing a food-holding vase on his nose. The storyteller offers La Fontaine's conclusion a bit differently: "Les trompeurs toujours sont trompés a leur tour." The pages consist of unusually heavy paper.
