Abstract

en_US A lovely sidways book with wonderful illustrations. La Fontaine's Le Savetier et le Financier is here set on two floors of one house in Paris. There are two worlds in this one large house. The title-page illustration of the rich man holding his ears in bed is a prize! The rich man rightly understands that the cobbler will worry if he has too much money, and so he gives him a bagful. The cobbler suffers for a month and then finally tells his wife, who advises him to give it back. A great final line: I can live without your money, but I cannot live without my song.
