- Abstract
- en_US This paperback booklet of 182 pages is the second of five volumes in one series. Surprisingly, its title-page lists a different publisher from the first volume, “Aesop’s Fables” (Yisuo Yuyan) under 2013/21. The back cover has a curious claim that La Fontaine “exposed the darkness and corruption of the feudal dynasty.” The book contains, as the opening T of C shows, some 149 fables. The cover illustration offers LM. This same cover has more claims than I can categorize. Some may indicate the series, like “Rensheng Bidushu” or “Must read in life.” There are many recognizable and rather simple illustrations here, like “Eagle and Owl” (9); BC (29); LM (40); “Wolf Become Shepherd” (61); FM (71); and “The Woodcutter and His Broken Axe” (158). Perhaps the most surprising illustration decks Mercury out in his fullest panoply as he returns the axe on 71. There are many marginal bubbles meant to help parents work with young readers to see the workings and the focus of the fables. 6½” x 9½”.
