Abstract
-
en_US
Here is a new presentation of a work originally done by Gründ in 2000. A large book 8¼" x 11½" and 586 pages long has been reduced to a book 7" x 8¼" and 349 pages long. The earlier work was complete and divided into La Fontaine's usual twelve books; this version is not divided by books, and its fables are listed not by number but only by title. The order follows, to judge by its earliest fables, roughly La Fontaine's original order, but with various fables dropped. Thus I 3 and I 4 are not here and TMCM appears before "The Lark and Her Young." Some small designs from the original version are expanded here, not always successfully; compare the goat on 16 here that on 24 there and the wolf on 21 here with that on 29 there. All of that being said, I still love Born's work and am delighted to see it again presented as playfully as I believe it was conceived!
