Abstract

en_US "A listing on the web helped with information on this unusual little paperback volume of 88 pages: "Fables de La Fontaine dans la langue populaire du quartier de Marolles (Bruxelles). Coco Lulu est le pseudonyme de Victor Lefèvre (1822-1904). Illustrations n/b de Paul Wellens sont différentes de celles de l'Edition Librairie Vanderlinden." I tried several of the fables and find them faithful to La Fontaine. They seem to add linguistic turns and topical references from Brussels to the basic verse of La Fontaine. The six full-page black-and-white illustrations are clear and sometimes bold: "The Angler" (9); CJ (19); OF (27); TMCM (39); "The Villager and the Serpent" (77); and GA (81). TMCM may be best: the cat looms while the two mice enjoy cheese and mugs of beer. Two advertisements from the publisher for fable books are inserted, one of them for this very book. There is a T of C at the end. As the other dealer's note suggests, do not confuse the illustrations by Wellens here with his from another edition at about the same time. That other edition comes from Librairie Vanderlinden. I will take Bodemann's word for it that this booklet was published in 1898, though it looks to me like something from the 1930's."
