Abstract

en_US Here is a second copy of a book I was already given in one form. That copy is listed under 1933. It was labeled a sixth edition of the 1933 original. This copy, internally identical, is dated 1954 without apparent reference to earlier printings or editions. The title-page identifies it as Édition Canadienne. I will repeat some of my comments from there. Here is a lively student textbook from Canada. There are plenty of footnotes with help on difficult vocabulary along the way. After each fable, there is an extended commentary in sections specifically given to the words, the ideas, and the grammar. There are then some questions to answer. From 173 to 184 one finds Notre Ménagerie, with pictures and descriptions of the birds and animals in the fables. At the end there are three indices to locate fables. The illustrations are livelier than one would expect in a textbook. Notice the dynamic illustration of the eagle, frog, and mouse on 101, for example. In this copy, a student has sketched in a woman to watch this dramatic scene!
