Abstract

en_US This book is a tribute to a publisher's ingenuity in repackaging the same material. This book replicates the texts from the same publisher's "Mes plus belles Fables de la Fontaine" from 2013. It changes the cover, though by using the same basic illustration of FC. It changes the endpapers by downsizing the line of tiles excerpted from the illustrations of the book's various stories. It takes the illustrations that had been framed by white margins and resizes them slightly to fill the page. It changes the typeface in which La Fontaine's texts are presented. It is printed in Poland, not more generally in the European Union. Finally, it changes the title slightly by dropping " plus belles." Fascinating! I will include comments I made on that earlier version. I am delighted to include this collection of Tessier's highly imaginative presentations of twenty-five La Fontaine 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 cart 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. 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. In TB, the bear is all over the traveler on the ground, who peers up from under his broad-brimmed hat. In MM, her future dreams are shadows in the puddle of spilled milk. This is stimulating, refreshing, creative work! T of C at the end.
