- Abstract
- en_US Here is a 32-page print-upon-demand book about 8½" square with French prose texts on the left hand page and full-page colored illustrations on the right. The art seems to be a sort of claymation, as in the partner publications on GA and TH. A proud crow claims he should be king of the forest. The animals laugh at him behind his back and know that he can be flattered. They get him to do tasks for them, which he does in order to show how gifted he is. Their manipulation of the proud crow climaxes when he has a piece of cheese in his beak. As in La Fontaine's fable, the fox tells the crow after he has lost the cheese that the cheese is payment for learning the lesson that flatterers always want to profit from their victims. The prose text is followed by La Fontaine's verse and Emile Chambry's translation of Aesop's version. The art struggles sometimes, perhaps seeming to be staged or stodgy. The booklet now carries a copyright of 2019 and includes "Le Petit Chaperon Rouge" as the fourth member of the "Contes et Fables" series. Print on demand.
