Abstract

en_US A farandole is a lively dance from Provence; all the dancers join hands and execute various figures. Le rat de bibliothèque (11) turns out to be about judging others. This rat was not strong on classical literature; he just liked to eat and to destroy! L'aigle et les deux lièvres (14) shows, with a good simple illustration, that it does not pay to pursue two hares at once. You will get neither of them! In La palombe et la grenouille (20, again with a helpful illustration), a frog teaches an envious dove that every life has its own dangers. She is not right to envy a life under water. One of the best of the illustrations is of the unsuccessful monkey guitarist on 39; he accuses his instrument of not being adequate to his talent. Another presents the ill-disposed pelican on 117. A T of C at the back lists the fables. They are divided into five books. This is a pleasant little book containing the art of the publisher and the poetry of an apparent family member. I cannot establish how many copies were printed.
