Abstract

en_US I cannot find out much about Éditions I.P.C. except that they published in the years 1944 and 1946. This is the second of two stapled albums of some 16 pages in landscape format about 10¾ x 8¼. This volume presents eight fables: The Fox and the Goat, FC, FS, FG, The Fox and the Bust, The Fox, the Wolf, and the Horse, The Wolf and the Fox, and UP. Here FG and The Fox and the Bust are both single pages; thus eight fables are able to fit into the pamphlet. Otherwise each fable receives a two-page spread. La Fontaine's fable is offered or at least begun. Then statements fitting the fable are presented in the cartoons, which number about eight or nine to a fable. Animal characters wear at least some human clothing. This edition features blue ink. The fox in both FC and FG drives a car, and his car in FC is pictured on the blue-and-black cover. In FG, he jumps into the top of his convertible! The presentation is both faithful to La Fontaine and lively. My favorite here is The Fox and the Goat. The former arrives on a bicycle and drives away in the goat's car! There is a T of C on the last page. The illustration with the T of C shows a fox smelling a flower, with a rifle at his side. Were there more albums in the series? As in the first album, the first page of the book is a collective presentation of the characters found in these fables.
