Abstract

en_US
This book puts a new cover on a book I had found previously in its 1995 form. The bibliographical information facing the title-page gives the date of 1998 for this edition and mentions "Supplément réalisé avec la collaboration de Dominique Boutel et Anne Panzani." It has not been easy for me to find what that "supplément" is. The front cover makes several changes: it removes the quotation of La Fontaine about his fables. It adds "Folio Cadet" along a brown and yellow stripe that includes the spine and part of the back cover. It colors peach the formerly white background of the WL scene. It adds finally the two phrases near the bottom "Folio Cadet Rouge" and "Gallimard Jenuesse." The back cover makes similar changes, including changing the ISBN number. It mentions a "supplément illustré." Might that be an additional item sold with this paperback book? From the title-page to the last page, I do not find any differences. Of course one will want to compare these illustrations with those done for the 1995 stamps issued by France. They were done at the same time by the same artists. I will include what I wrote about the 1995 version. The fables are followed by very good tests and games. I have not seen this much wit expended on fable illustrations in a while! The grasshopper in GA is a one-animal band (5). The fox plays the violin beneath the crow (6). The wolf meeting the lamb carries a gun and wears an ammunition belt (15). The weasel measures her own waist (37). While the race goes on, the hare is flying a kite (55). In successive stages of her walk, a hen and chicks, a pig, and a cow take the place of the jug on the milkmaid's head (57). AI at the back.
