Abstract

en_US Copyright Editions AMZ Milan. The page before the title-page reads Le Grand Livre des Fables. Is that a series to which this book might belong? This is my fifth book using Bodini's illustrations. It is the largest and contains the most fables of the five books, thirty-seven. But a little examination shows that nine of those fables are unillustrated. And some secondary illustrations found in other versions, like the fox walking away from the grapes, do not appear here. The cover illustration used here seems not to be found elsewhere: La Fontaine stands with quill in hand before busts of Aesop and Phaedrus, with Bodinesque animals arranged before him. The illustrations are both large and precise here. The Italian original by AMZ appeared in 1960, I am guessing that this book was published soon after that. There is some crumbling at either end of the spine. The endpapers of pixie jesters do not seem to me to be typical of Bodini's art.
