Abstract

en_US This book looked very familiar. A little investigation has shown why. The illustrations are also used in El arca de las Fabulas by Sigmar in 1983. The source for both that work and this was done in 1979 by Falcon Books in the USA. Fables get around! This French book presents prose stories but then offers three pages of La Fontaine's original texts at the beginning and end of the book. As I compare the two editions, French and Spanish, I find this French edition's rendering of the illustrations brighter. Cavina's illustrations are lively if anything, and they come off the page much stronger here. There are fewer fables and fewer illustrations here: twenty-four fables to the thirty in the Spanish edition. And not all of the illustrations there appear here; GA here has two illustrations whereas there it has three. I miss the story that appeared there without words on the title-page: two asses learning to feed with each other instead of starving in struggle against each other. The best illustrations are again of TMCM (7), the wolf with a bandage (12), the wolf as a shepherd (24), and the exploding frog (31). Again a lion reads a story book to other animals on the front cover.
