- Abstract
- en_US Apparently the versions used in this book come from Jan Albin in the Prostejov anthology of 1557. The book itself is unusual and engaging. It presents 29 fables, each on a single page, the paper for which is almost the strength of cardboard stock. Each fable thus gets three or four cartoon panels, with the animals shaped in an engaging geometric fashion, where necks are narrow dowels and faces are triangles or circles. Two mice appear frequently in these panels ÔÇô and then alone on the back cover. The front cover presents a circle of animals. Perhaps most curious is the lion, with a round face encircled with bristles. The illustrations offer a delightful primitive style. Among them, FC is well done (8). Is the lion (10) offering the fox kingship? FS features a great fox-face (13). Signed by Hencl. I am not sure that I have established who really published this engaging book!
