Abstract

en_US This work is a German version of The Fables of La Fontaine published in 1963 by Doubleday. The pages listed there in the T of C are four numbers higher than those here; that is 4-56 here corresponds basically to 8-60 there. I write basically for two reasons. First, the last three stories are different in order here from there. There The Donkey and the Lapdog was followed by FWT and The Old Man and His Three Sons. Here The Old Man and His Three Sons is followed by FWT and The Donkey and the Lapdog. Also, the rebus T of C pages there are colored, while here they are in black-and-white. A standard binding there yields to a canvas binding here. A curiosity of this book is that it was allowed to be sold only in the German Democratic Republic. As I wrote of the English version, I had searched for ten years and never had this book in my hand. Experts in children's books did not even know that Scarry had done a LaFontaine book. Thirty-one fables, some with colored and some with black-and-white illustrations in Scarry's typical style. The best illustrations are for The Mice in Council (14-15), The Wolf and the Stork (16-17), The Wolf and the Fox (32-33), and DLS (50-51). Cuteness takes over in The Lion and the Troops illustration (18-19). The German does away with the morals stated at the end of the fables.
