- Abstract
- en_US This is a beautiful, large, hardbound book, remarkable for its sensual and lavish illustrations. Each fable, including the doublet of The Heron and The Girl, is allotted two pages for text and illustration. The texts themselves are playfully calligraphed; the print grows, for example, just as the frog does (10). The artist's approach seems to me to be surrealist, and the effect is strong. For good starters among the images, try the cover-image of La Fontaine, the frog about to burst (11), the bird in borrowed feathers (20), and The Monkey and the Leopard (34). There is a T of C at the back. Do not miss the artist's photo facing it.
