Abstract
-
en_US
This large hardbound colorful book is unusual for a French book in presenting prose adaptations of La Fontaine. But then it is already unusual in being produced by a firm in London, printed by one in the Czech Republic, and published by a third in Paris! In TH, the hare sleeps apparently within sight of the goal, in fact a few steps from it. The wager is for the hare's weight in carrots against the tortoise's weight in salad. TMCM follows not La Fontaine but the more traditional tale, since it starts with a meal in the country. One of the best illustrations of the book shows the town mouse reacting vigorously as the country mouse approaches with his plate of food. In the city, they go immediately to the kitchen. At the end there is no mention of another meal together soon in the country, as there is in La Fontaine. The wolf in The Goat, the Kid, and the Wolf is dressed in a rakish outfit (35). In this version, the Show me your white paw demand works to ward off the wolf and prove the true mother.
