- Abstract
- en_US This is a substantial illustrated anthology, offering some 303 large (7¾" x 10¼") pages of texts from over thirty Russian fabulists. There is a T of C at the end. The approach is chronological, from Trefiyakovsky on Page 5, born in 1703, to Markovsky, born in 1893. An anomaly for this reader is that the title starts rather with Kheraskov, born in 1733, whose segment does not occur until Page 74. Those represented with the most texts include Sumarokov, Khemnitser, and Krilov. The illustrations seem drawn from a number of sources, perhaps not recognized here beyond indications of collections published at various times, as indicated on the colophon page at the end of the book. I recognize frequent borrowings from Doré and Billinghurst. There are several charming colored illustrations from a Russian artist in and around 1911. On the padded front cover is a charming rendition of "The Monkey and the Spectacles." This is an impressive volume!
