Abstract

en_US Each of 75 fables gets a pair of pages in this super-tall (13 x 8¼) book of 157 pages, since there are five beginning pages and two pages of Verantwoording at the end. It is a new favorite of mine. I cannot read the rhyming Dutch texts, but I appreciate that they are always short enough to get onto one page. The special gift of this volume lies in the fresh, surprising interpretations given by the illustrations. Since they are always two-page illustrations, it is a shame that this rather slender book has to deal with the crack at the center of each illustration. I am tempted to list many of the clever illustrations. Let me try to restrict myself to a few: The Old Lion and the Clever Fox (20-21); TT (26-27); The Dog and the Ass (46-47); WL (56-57); FC (68-69); DLS (76-77); GGE (78-79); FG (100-101); The Eagle, The Boar and the Cat (130-131); The Wolf in Sheepskin (134-135); WC (140-141); and MSA (154-155). There, I could not keep it down to a few! This is the first time in CJ that I have seen a rooster find a ring rather than a jewel (40-41).
