- Abstract
- en_US Until now we have had a Rabier Florian only in poor condition. Here is a much better copy printed on heavy paper stock. As I wrote then, Rabier is worth having in any condition! The style is Rabier's familiar style, alternating monochrome pages with highly colored pages. The text usually appears in the middle of the page, surrounded by satiric and playful cartoon snapshots of scenes from the fable. The illustrations are delightful. I enjoy for example: "The Blind and the Lame" (8); "The Young Hen and the Old Fox" (16), especially the contrast between the sedate picture of the fox entering the hen-coup and all its inhabitants streaming out; the attack of a dog on a fox who thinks he will encounter a squirrel (29); and the monkey who cannot crack a nut (32). Watch out on 25 when lions and foxes shake hands! The monkey's theater-crowd in green-and-white on 14 is also excellent, as are the purple-and-white images of the rabbit stuck by a hedgehog on 21. Most of us find it hard, I suspect, to imagine an ass playing a flute, but Rabier can do it for us (43)! Canvas-bound.
