Abstract

en_US This is one of four twelve-page oversized (9 x 11¾) pamphlets I bought from Marie Gervais together. There seem to be two others in the series beyond these four. The illustration style is highly reminiscent of that found in several works: Les Plus Belles Fables d'Animaux, published in 1982 by Deux Coqs d'Or; El arca de las Fabulas, published in 1983 by Sigmar in 1983; and work published in English in 1979 by Falcon Books. The surprise is that the artist listed for those is Sergio Cavina, while these pamphlets are explicit in proclaiming P. Latimer as the illustrator. The bibliographical notes here mention a 1976 copyright by Falcon. Someday this mystery will be solved. Here five fables get either two or three pages each, with an abundance of clever and fine-grain illustrations. Though La Fontaine does not seem to be mentioned, these prose fables seem to follow La Fontaine's versions. Readers of this volume will remember particularly the images of the mosquito as a traveler with satchel and umbrella; of the mosquito upbraiding the sweating horse; and of the weasel stuck in the hole through which he had entered leaner.
