Abstract

en_US To my surprise, this turns out to be the same Ukrainian book of fables by Hlibov, Krylov, and Aesop that I have already catalogued. Only the cover differs. Where that cover mentioned all three fabulists and showed characters from five different fables against a blue checkerboard background, this cover has only Bayke and six panels from individual fables. The endpapers here show, on the left page, a bucket, shoes, a clarinet-like instrument, and a piece of painted wood that may be some musical instrument. The right page has a pair of glasses, a violin, an inkstand and feather, and a manuscript. Once one has gone past those pages, the books are identical--except for one line on the colophon page just before the advertisement at the end. Where the other book has 3 AM 1196, this has 3am 1277. I will copy my comments from there. Eighty pages offering fifty-seven fables with rich and simple full-color cartoon-like pictures on every page. Most of the fables are recognizable from their illustrations. The first four fables are GA, Quartet, FC, and The Swan, the Lobster, and the Pike. I particularly enjoy the depiction of Trishka's Kaftan on 77. There is a T of C on 4. Leonid Hlibov is spoken of as the best Ukrainian fabulist. He is brought together here with the best of Russian and Greek fabulists. He offers a fable on two barrels on 59; is it the traditional 2P? I realize in comparing the two books that this book never mentions that it is highlighting the three fabulists named on the cover of the other copy. At least five fables are attributed to Hlibov. The rest are attributed to Krilov. None are attributed to Aesop.
