- Abstract
- en_US This book apparently follows upon Zayann, a collection of La Fontaine's fables in French and Creole produced by PLB in Guadeloupe. This second volume follows up with twenty-one more La Fontaine fables, each facing a Créole adaptation, and twenty Aesop fables, each including adaptations in, as the subtitle's continuation has it, guadeloupéen, guyanais, martiniquais, haïtien. Each of these latter adaptations comes marked with an identifying place name and outline of its island country. The respective adapters for the four are Hector Poullet, Aude Farwaka Désiré, Daniel Boukmann, and Jocelyne Trouillot-Levy. The presentation is regular: Aesop's short version appears at the top of a left-hand page; the adaptations follow on the left and right-hand pages. The Haitian version is regularly three or four times longer than either Aesop or the other adaptations! The break between the La Fontaine and Aesop sections comes on 81. Th. Petit le Brun adds full-page black-and-white illustrations for The Cat, the Weasel, and the Little Rabbit (cover); The Herdsman and His Flock (43); and The Ass and His Masters (75). Particular words are marked for help along the way. That help, divided according to the four territories, comes on 124-26 after the T of C on 122-23. This copy formerly belonged to the Brooklyn Public Library. Now I need to find a copy of Zayann!
