- Abstract
- en_US Here is a strong small (6¾" x 9½") presentation of prose texts for 21 fables on left-hand pages with alternating colored and black-and-white illustrations on right-hand pages. My understanding from the book is that Jiri Trnka has founded his own publishing studio. That fact helps explain an anomaly. The illustrations seem to be those strong illustrations that Trnka used in the seven or eight versions we already have of his work. Those have various dates ranging back to 1962 and through the sixties, seventies, and eighties for books in Czech, French, English, Spanish, and German. This book refers, as far as I can tell, to none of those and claims a 2010 copyright. So I presume that Trnka is repackaging his own work from earlier and asserting his copyright over that work. This version has the familiar purple-clad wolf as shepherd on its cover and on 45. Very good colored illustrations include the hawk clutching the frog tied to the mouse (9); two goats on a bridge (25); and, best of all, MSA (37) with a great face on the miller as he looks back at the jeering traveler. T of C at the end.
