Abstract

en_US I have found two other versions of this book, listed under 1953/66 and 1953/70. I keep trying to find a first edition! This may be the cleanest copy of the three, marred only by a bit of scotch-tape at the base of the spine. Like the other later printing, this book was printed in Italy. I will excerpt remarks made on the first copy I found. My, Romain Simon illustrated many different books! This is a 28-page oversized (9 x 12½) children's book. There are eleven fables in all, each allotted one to three pages. At least five of them are included somehow in the endpieces at both ends of the book. The stories include GA, FC, FG, LM, TMCM, TH, MM, The Fox and the Goat, WL, FS, and TT. Has the lively, skipping rabbit appeared in Simon's work before? The scarf and shawl on the tortoise make me think I have seen these characters before!
