- Abstract
- en_US The features of this book start with a colorful cover which has a goose and a fox holding a banner underneath the title advertising the artist. Both have children sitting nearby. VIII-108 pp. Preface, dedication, 25 numbered verse fables, an epilogue, and a T of C at the end. 24 colored illustrations, 2¾" x 4½". The book itself is 6¼" x 9⅜". Not in Bodemann. I sampled the first two fables and "La Cicogne et le Renard." The first two return to the same theme, I believe: let deer flee and let dogs pursue. That is the proper nature of each. Let owls eat the mice that they eat and partridges eat the grain that they eat. The third has the two who sparred when younger in FS now converse amicably with each other. The stork speaks of travelling long distances and seeing the wonders of the world. The fox finally asks: "And how are the chickens there?"
