- Abstract
- en_US This book and the circumstances around my getting it are strange. I was wandering through this antiques mall, having found nothing, and found this away from the usual book sources for this incredible price! I would never have expected to find a book like this in a place like that. The book itself is also strange. It was published by an English publisher in Paris and sold in Geneva. It contains 43 fables, with two colored illustrations (The Shepherd and the Sea as frontispiece and TB on 60). Along the way most fables have simple but playful illustrations. Among the best are the smiling hanging cat on 16, the bird dying in three stages on 19, the frog weeping at his burst mate's tombstone on 20, and the helmeted rats on 59. The book has weak cardboard covers that have managed to bring it this far!
