- Abstract
- en_US This is a remarkable--as Robin writes of it, unusual--pamphlet of some 24 pages. It offers, in French and Spanish, MSA in six lithographed colored scenes, each taking up a full page and each presenting a phase of this delightful fable. Facing each nicely colored lithograph on the left-page is a black-and-white version that takes up the full right page. It is there to be colored in. True to La Fontaine, this fable starts with the miller and his son carrying the ass. This medium is perfect for presenting the miller's dogged simplicity. Intervening pairs of pages present La Fontaine's text in Spanish verse (left) and the original French (right). What a lovely little treasure!
