- Abstract
- en_US One of the loveliest and most imaginative books in the collection. The book presents nineteen fables of La Fontaine with a lovely standard Carelman illustration before each text. But the La Fontaine text is not complete. The moral is stated in very imaginative rebus combinations. These are not your garden variety rebus symbols for little children! I assure any reader from my experience that for a non-native French speaker the exercise of deciphering these morals can be challenging! But never fear--there is a clever appendix listing not only each moral but the rebus combinations that make it up. Both are cleverly printed backwards, but I am doing scans of them that reverse the images for those who do not have a mirror nearby! If you are sharp, you will notice that even part of the information on the book's cover is given in rebus.
