- Abstract
- en_US How nice to see Marie have her day! As the closing T of C shows, there are here 24 fables on 59 pages. Generally right-hand pages are reserved for full-page colored illustrations that have no borders. Left-hand pages often include a further symbol of the fable. The artist pays special attention to headgear. "The goshawk and the nightingale" (10-11) admonishes those invited to speak up to speak up. DS (14-15) seems to involve some confusion about whether the dog sees in the water the moon or the image of his cheese. A good example of the loveliness of design and its coherence with the text comes in "Le renard et la colombe" (28-29). The dove counters the fox's claim of universal peace. New to me is "The wolf and the hedgehog" (32-35). The wolf abandons his partner once but then invites him back. "Never" responds the hedgehog. The two-page spread of wolf with hedgehog clinging to his chin might be the strongest in the book. In Marie's telling, it is a camel who has not even noticed the presence of the flea (56-57). The last fable, "Le voleur et les moutons," challenges those who let themselves be misused by an enemy (58-59).
