Abstract

en_US The chief features of this twelve-page large-format (8" x 11½") pamphlet are the prose rendition of the fable through the book, accompanied by La Fontaine's poetic version in segments along the way and as a whole on the last page, and Romain Simon's delightful art work. Though this is the twentieth book in the collection that is illustrated by Simon, it seems not to repeat the art from any of the other publications. The front cover -- putting together images offered separately on 6 -- gives a hint that Simon will delight in showing this fox's emotions as he carries his French purse. The title-page shows the fox licking his chops after the first bite out of the circular cheese. We next see him lounging, again licking his chops, as he first smells the cheese. We next see him seeking and then finding the cheese and then flattering the crow. Just after the winning smile I have already mentioned, we see the fox's open jaws ready to snap up the falling cheese. Our last view shows him sneering back at the shamed crow. Culled from the library of École St-Romain and Académie Langlois in Quebec. I have four of the set of six in the set.
