Abstract

en_US This is a fine recent Aesop book! Some eighteen artists contribute two to four illustrations for each of the fables here. The styles are various and lively. The good illustrations start with what I believe is a whimsical presentation of MM on the first T of C page. Among the earliest larger illustrations are two dramatic renditions of scenes from BW (6-7 and 8-9). Also very strong are the three illustrations for TMCM (14-17); the two for The Roosters and the Eagle (28-29); and the two for The Nurse, the Child, and the Wolf (56-57). The cover picture is well chosen from LM (64-47). W. Janse does a good job with the often neglected story of the Wolf's Shadow (80-81). Do not miss The Lion and the Mosquito on 94-95. A thoroughly delightful book. Most of the artists are Japanese. Was this book published in some other languages as well?
