Abstract

en_US I had to buy three books to get this one volume, new to me. Now I learn that it sets me on the search for a further volume! This is a typical large-format French post-WWII edition containing ten fables. It has a canvas binding. The illustrations are lively and engaging, from the beginning illustration of OF, which includes three frogs and two caterpillars. FC features a crow dressed in tails, with a dressed son (?) in an elaborate birdhouse on the same tree. TB has a squirrel, a rabbit, and a deer for engaged onlookers--and two very detailed human beings. TT has a turtle somehow crowned and many beasts watching from the ground; this illustration is also presented on the book's cover. WL has the moment of the violent carrying off of the defenseless lamb; I do not believe I have ever seen this moment pictured before. There is an advertisement for the second volume on the last page.
