- Abstract
- en_US This is a most encouraging book, 8 inches square and presenting eight fables bilingually. As the bilingual editor's note indicates, we have eight young illustrators, each quite particular, chosen by competition. "Huit techniques différentes, huit styles et huit interprétations." It is true! The encouraging part for me to is to see people letting the fables lead to new insights and expressions. Ants color a black-and-white world. We see from above the free-fall of cheese from crow to waiting fox-mouth. A frog becomes a helium balloon. A blue-green paper arc contrasts with four pieces of ripped brown paper. A hare races down a straight highway while a tortoise crosses the finish line of a winding path. In perhaps the best of the pieces, a crane's head is within a U-shaped ring of sharp wedges. The Polish translations come from various writers, listed along with the artists at the book's end. Symbols of the eight designs dance in a ring on the sleeve of the included CD. What fun! This is our first bilingual French/Polish book.
