Abstract

en_US This lovely pamphlet of 32 pages is in a sad state but was a wonderful find at a wonderful price. It is hard to date. Some help may come from the back cover, which mentions Fables de La Fontaine No. 1 and Fables de La Fontaine No. 2, as well as, in preparation, Les Robinsons Suisses, Robinson Crusoé, and Gulliver. As in other Pellerin materials, the colors are lovely. The book is disintegrating each time I turn its pages. Its illustrations are: The Bear and Lover of Gardens; DW; GA; The Hare and the Frogs; The Fox and the Goat; The Two Doves; The Monkey and the Cat; WL; FC; The Lion and the Mosquito; TMCM; The Heron; WS; and The Horse and the Wolf. The illustration for GA, for example, is new to me, while FC and The Heron I have seen many times over. The colorists enjoy giving characters striped trousers. The special attraction of Pellerin illustrations has something to do, I believe, with large areas of strong, bright, simple colors. The cover presents an assemblage of many of the above characters, with Fables spelled out by wooden boards. Even here, the Heron has striped pants!
