Abstract
-
en_US
This Dutch paperback is based on the lovely Mame edition of Nézière published in 1926. It presents about 35 of the 60 fables from there. It leaves out some illustrations from the fables it presents, and it omits the wonderful full-page colored illustrations in that edition. There is no T of C and no introduction. There are regularly two black-and-white illustrations per fable. In that edition, front and back covers presented the cast of characters and the poet himself; here we get at least the front cover. The funniest black-and-white illustration (34) has a horse pulling a rolling scaffold of thirteen people, four children in a coaster cart, an alligator, and a further cast. The secret to the humor of this funny book lies in the use of updated technology. The racing turtle has a cart and a turtle-jockey, while the hare has a bike (47). The tortoise in mid-air is carried between two biplanes (58). A great imaginative lark!
