Abstract

en_US This lovely little (4½ x 6½) book contains nineteen fables with delightful colored pictures. Its cover already gives the keynote: the bass-playing bear explains with hand outstretched to the three fellow members of the quartet. Pastel colors and a classical house-front for background complete the typical picture. Around the title-page and following T of C are playful characters from Krilov's best known fables, like the monkey with a mirror, the crow with cheese, eyeglasses, and the cat who eats while being lectured to about eating. The fox here (27) tries to get the grapes down by using an unopened umbrella! The finish of the last story, WL, is lovely. The young lamb was wearing a sailor hat with ribbons at the time of encountering the wolf. Now the hat lies on the ground with nothing else around (52). We find that same lamb on the back cover and in the T of C. Well done!
