Abstract

en_US
The cover has a fox saying to La Fontaine's statue Good man, good man, you are not the master in your own house when we are there. This book has fun with fifteen fables of La Fontaine on some 60 large-format pages. In the first illustration facing the title-page, a crow uses a phonograph to make Crra sounds for the waiting fox, while the crow keeps a round of cheese in his beak. WL runs its usual course a la La Fontaine but near its usual end, the lamb mentions seeing two gendarmes approaching. Why not make them judges in this case? One of the soldiers in fact shoots the wolf as he runs away. FC fills out the picture we have already seen: the crow was ready with the necessary phonograph to respond to the fox's request for song. The Coach and the Fly here turns into The Coach and the Car. The passengers struggle to get a horse-drawn coach up a hill. A car races by and wishes them luck. Not far beyond the top of the hill though, the coach and passengers come upon the car stalled with carburetor trouble. One can imagine their response. By the way, the car had destroyed the clay pot along the road. If one knows La Fontaine, this really is pour Rire! There is a combination of colored full pages and black-and-white partial-page designs.
