Abstract

en_US Here is a copy of a booklet that was the last we found to complete a series of twelve published in 2016. This turns out to be a new 2021 printing with several changes. The changes occur on both covers, on the title-page, and in the typeface used to tell the story. Even the advertisements on the back cover have changed to mirror the title-page changes in other booklets in the series, including the large cursive "La Fontaine" on front-covers. For some reason, that last of the twelve booklets to be found in the 2016 series was exorbitantly expensive. This copy cost about one-fifteenth of that copy! As I commented then, the cover presents the conflict well, as the grasshopper lies on a leaf playing her guitar, while the ant runs home with a grain. The title-page presents the same contrast, this time with the two running in opposite directions. A dramatic page which I did not expect portrays visually the ant's abundance as against the grasshopper's plea. The next page shifts to the outdoors and the rejection by one of the other. The grasshopper in winter wears sneakers and a scarf.
