Abstract

en_US This is an unusual series of four books within the larger series Collection Tante Laura. Each book is about 7 square. The covers are stiff; at first I thought that each book was meant to house a 45 rpm record. As in the first volume, six fables are presented on the first 15 pages. After an introduction, this second volume presents OF; DW; WL; FC; Les Animaux malades de la peste; and Le Charretier Embourbé. These six are listed on the front cover. In a surprise move, the final page presents La Mort et le Malherureux where the first volume had a list of the volume's fables. The cover here pictures FC in a scene I recognize from Pellerin elsewhere; this same scene is presented again inside the book in larger format. This illustration and WL may be the strongest in this volume. The back cover has a colorful WL illustration. Internally there is a full-page picture for each of the first six fables, the first three on the left-hand and the last three on the right-hand page. They tend to excerpt classic Pellerin presentations. As always with Pellerin, the colors are exquisite. There are various styles within Pellerin's approach to illustration.
