Abstract
-
en_US
This is an unusual series of four books within the larger series Collection Tante Laura. Each book is about 7 square. The covers are stiff; at first I thought that each book was meant to house a 45 rpm record. Six fables are presented on 16 pages. After an introduction, this first volume presents TH; MM; OR; Le Coche et la Mouche; Le Héron; and Le Lion et le Moucheron. The cover here pictures MM with a whole brood of chicks around a mother hen. The back cover has a colorful TH illustration. Internally there is a full-page picture for each of the six fables, the first three on the left-hand and the last three on the right-hand page. They tend to excerpt classic Pellerin presentations. Thus the illustration here for TH shows the bunny running desperately out of the reeds in the direction of a far off tortoise waving a handkerchief and using a walking stick. I recognize the larger illustration from which this illustration is selected because that larger illustration appears on a dinner plate in this collection. As always with Pellerin, the colors are exquisite. There are various styles within Pellerin's approach to illustration. There is a T of C at the back.
