Abstract

en_US
This oversize (12 x 9) book seems internally identical with Fables Choisies printed in Belgium and published by M.A. Hemmerlin in 1969. The two differences I can establish without having that book in hand are these: that was a pamphlet, and it did not mention La Fontaine. This hard-covered, canvas-bound book has La Fontaine in its title on the cover; it does not have a title-page. I find what may be a 1967 date of publication here on the second-to-last page. As I mention there, the book presents TMCM, FC, GA, FG, GGE, LM, OF, and WL in La Fontaine's versions with suitably simple illustrations for children. The artist is identified as Chader in many but not all illustrations. The best of these may be the sausage-and-cold-cut dinner with wine and napkin in TMCM. This is one of the few times that I have seen the wolf's seizing of the lamb pictured. This book was well used, apparently by Commission Scolaire, VAL - David, and shows both some small tears and some repairs.
