Abstract

en_US See my comments on the first of the three volumes. This volume contains Books IX-XII. The Mouse Changed into a Young Woman (IX 7) on 26 does an unusually good job of joining all the serial elements into one picture. In TT (X 2) on 67, the flight path seems below tree-top level! The people could almost reach out and touch the turtle! This may be the first time that I have seen the old man using help to plant trees in The Old Man and the Three Young Men (XI 8) on 122. Again, the illustration for The Matron of Ephesus (XII 26) on 196 gets more into one picture than is usually possible. My method of reading has been to lift each single folded sheet of the printer's paper to read it, unfolding it to find what is inside. One realizes with this method of reading that La Fontaine's fables become longer as the books progress. Now seldom a fable finishes on one page of paper. T of C for this volume at the end, followed by an AI for the whole three volume work. As with each of these volumes, the box is broken, but the portfolio cover remains intact.
