Abstract
-
en_US
Here is a sixteen-page oversize pamphlet containing eight of La Fontaine's fables with a full-page colored illustration for each. Text and illustration are matched by being on opposite sides of the same page. We thus start with a picture, then read two verse texts, then see two pictures, and so on. The eight fables are Le Cochon, la Chevre et le Mouton, OF, Le Renard et le Bouc, Les Oreilles du Lievre, Le Cheval et l'Ane, FS, GA, and Le Loup devenu Berger. I remember the expressive illustration of Le Cheval et l'Ane distinctly but do not know where I saw it. OF is also a very good illustration; the frog seems off-balance with its increased size. Even the beginning illustration of the crying pig is well done, particularly for a cheap and simple children's edition. The cover shows the result of the horse's refusal to help the ass. My sense is that there were many such simple editions of La Fontaine around in France in the post-war years. Check under Gordinne and especially Liege to find more of them.
