Abstract

en_US Here is a modest book of forty-six fables on 51 pages plus a T of C at the end. The blue-ink woodcuts are lovely; they have the look of something stamped into the book by hand. On the whole, they are very nicely done. A good exemplar is DS on 19. Are they modeled on Virgil Solis' work? Strangely, the woodcuts stop abruptly on 40. A hand-written note on the inside front-cover mentions that a copy of this same work was sold to my favorite private collector. I feel very fortunate to have found this work by chance on eBay and to have purchased it at so good a price. I would love to learn more about the interaction of Tolstoi and Aesop, not to speak of the origin of these woodcuts!
