Abstract

en_US Cataloguing this little book has one reaching for a number of other books in the collection. There were apparently four La Fontaine books in this same format in the "Les Albums Roses" collection. We now have three, including TT (1967) and WL (both 1953 and 1956). Each presents several La Fontaine fables. Romain Simon seems to have been the artist for all four. We still need to find GA. The present book uses the same interior art work as the 1976 book by Hachette in its "Gentil Coquelicot" series, titled "Le Lièvre et la Tortue." That larger book includes some playful questions after the stories and an unrelated song on its back cover. In this "Album Roses" copy, three fables are announced on the title-page, though they are not presented in that order. At his nap, the rabbit of TH has a pipe and newspaper. He even juggles fruit along the way. The turtle, with an umbrella, stands at the end where there is a bag of "bonbons fins." In TMCM, the country rat is delivered in a handle-litter carried by two other rats. There is a fine last picture showing the smiling country rat at home in wooden shoes drinking wine and eating grains and vegetables with great pleasure! "The Cat, the Weasel, and the Little Rabbit" features lively characters.
