Abstract

en_US Each of eight fables gets either a page or a two-page spread in this fragile ephemeral album made for children. The first page offers a T of C and a cartoon of a riotous scene on a mountain road. I had to read the fables as presented here to recognize the fables presented on this title-page. The front cover of this monochrome brown booklet offers a bright multi-colored version of a similar highway scene. At the pamphlet's other end, the two travelers run across a landscape shaped like a bearskin. For each fable, one sees La Fontaine's text and a series of cartoon panels with one or two simple prose statements. The milkmaid slips on a banana peel as she fantasizes her newly bought calf jumping in the midst of the herd. The laborer's sons end up toasting "Travail." The wind and sun In WS have human bodies. "Le coche et la mouche" uses a bus rather than a horse-drawn coach and is the center of attention on the title-page. The wise man who gets his revenge on an idiot turns out to be a rich financier driven around by two black men. Fox and his readers had fun here! 10½" x 8".
