- Abstract
- en_US After a T of C, this book alternates verse texts of Aesop's fables on the left with strong full-page woodcuts on the right. This is more of Ryrie's lovely work that I enjoyed so much in his 2004 "Aesop -- Life and Fables." For me, his work may be at its best when his strong lines portray a jumbled and even chaotic visual field, as in "The forest deceived" (7-8). This effect extends, I believe, to illustrations where the viewer may not at fist sense the distinction of one object from others, like the boat in the water in "Enemies till death" (13-14) or the dog's reflection in the water in "The dog's reflection" (25-26). What strong lines he creates! These help to suggest the emotion in "The miser" (9-10). What a lovely booklet!
