Abstract
-
en_US
Rhyming couplets carry these fables along. Perrette's picture, also found on the dust jacket, is nicely hand-colored (8). In this version the jug fell off her head because "she felt a surge of joy so deep that she gave a little happy leap" (9). CP is also nicely colored (14), though the translation seems to miss La Fontaine's quip that learning about flatterers is worth the price of a cheese. TB (34) is nicely rendered both in image and in translation. Sibley stays true to La Fontaine's view that this fable is about selling furs that we do not yet possess. Inscribed "August 18, 1948. To Nancy Marie with love from Aunt Lillie. Translation by Jean Sibley, my former neighbor and friend." The published price of the book was $1.50. Oh, for different financial times!
