Abstract

en_US
One knows that one is in for some fun with the full-page illustration facing Meurisse's introduction: La Fontaine signs an autograph on the fox's round of cheese, as the crow sits on the fox's shoulder! This is a thoroughly delightful presentation of La Fontaine. It starts with two surprises, the first the choice of "Heron" to begin this presentation, with a typically haughty and disdainful bird. The second surprise comes when we turn the page and find the distraught heron going after a snail! OR (22-25) has a fine way of associating the bender and the breaker. UP shows a thoroughly suspicious fox on 27. I appreciate the subtlety of the dog's collar-issue in DW (46-49). The outcome of "Rat and Oyster" is downright funny (59)! The fox's expression and posture reveal everything in FG (62). There is a T of C at the end of this delightful volume! 8½" x 13¼".
