Abstract

en_US This book is almost identical with another in the collection, listed simply under 1954. Where that was a 1960 printing, this is a 1962 printing, as is clear at the bottom of the book's last page. Several things have shifted. Now the front cover has 4556 under the Bias logo, and where the earlier copy had 4556 on its back cover, this book's back cover has instead 3556. That back cover had some twelve editions pictured. Only two of those remain here, with just two others added. The series name there was Collection Belles Lectures, but now it is Premières Belles Lectures. As I wrote then, this is a pretty standard children's edition of La Fontaine, containing twenty-six fables. The illustrations, all taking just part of the page, range from monochrome to duochrome to full color. The best of them might be that showing the escaping thief in Les Voleurs et l'Ane. Another favorite of mine is FG: the turned-up nose of the fox is perfect!
