Abstract

en_US Here is a French edition of this wonderful book, which I have already in its English, German, and Italian versions. The cover here shows a child holding a tortoise and a hare, while a crow sits with a cheese on top of his head. This remains one of my favorite books of fables. It has been twenty-three years since I first found the original English version of 1965. I have also found paperback and British versions and copies of three other printings of the Golden Press edition. One of the strengths of the English edition is the remarks set next to characters in the illustrations. One of the joys of this translation is to see how they are rendered. As I have noted elsewhere, it takes something special for the French to reproduce fables of Aesop rather than of La Fontaine.
