Abstract

en_US I learned to like Semyonov's work -- it is also spelled Semenov and so I spelled it there -- in his illustrations of the 1965 book Demian Bedny: Basni. The same enjoyable style is at work here in the playful, colorful illustrations. Notice, for example, the weeping frog pallbearers for OF on 8. The two illustrations for WL on 14 and 15 tell it all: a beginning design of the wolf carrying a knife and a young lamb and a full-page illustration of the wolf bearing down on the lamb across the small stream. There is actually a third illustration at the fable's end: the wolf sits on a bench and picks his teeth. The full-page illustration of Dembrov's Soup repays study (53). All three faces are highly expressive. There is a T of C at the back. I am beginning to notice a high degree of consistency in the fables from Krylov which people choose to highlight with an illustration. These illustrations deserve special consideration, right from the front cover on, where three people stare into a large mirror and see animals looking back at them.
