- Abstract
- en_US A young student's guide to the exhibition, I would say. This booklet puts together many of the materials from the regular guide to the exhibit, but presents them in a way which those can understand who have not had a great deal of acquaintance with fables. One of its most creative touches is to have two fables running through the booklet in a wandering line-- The Hornets and the Honeybees and then The Bird Wounded with an Arrow. One fable and interpretation (outside the twelve books of La Fontaine) is new to me: The Sun and the Frogs has to do with the Dutch (frogs) and the Sun King, Louis XIV. The silly frogs insult their protector, who will cause them regret/If angered.
