- Abstract
- en_US Here is a later and smaller edition of the 2013 "Mes plus belles Fables de La Fontaine" by the same publisher and above all by the same artist. Here one finds 15 of the 25 fables presented there. I continue to enjoy Tessier's highly imaginative presentations of La Fontaine's fables. Each fable gets two pages, with text on the left-hand page and a clever illustration on the right-hand page. Fable after fable, his imagination finds lively approaches to the story. The ant in GA is pushing a full shopping card around the outside of a grasshopper concert! Both the fox and the crow wear old-time French wigs as they argue their "case" in and below a tree. We get to view the exploded parts of the frog in OF. In MM, her future dreams are shadows in the puddle of spilled milk. The wolf is gigantic as he towers over the lamb at the river. WC is wonderfully dramatic, simple, and colorful. The two mice are enjoying burgers, hot dogs, and fries as the cat comes upon them from a fire escape outside an open window. FS becomes a theater drama acted on a stage. This is stimulating, refreshing, creative work! Other fables presented here include OR; "The Heron"; "The Farmer and His Sons"; LM; "The Little Fish and the Angler"; and "The Fox and the Goat." T of C at the end. There is a CD attached inside the front cover. The cover illustration focuses in on WC.
