Abstract

en_US
I am amazed to find a publication from Russia in 1945. My sense has been that they were hardly eating, much less publishing fable books! This is a lovely pamphlet, about 4 x 5 3/4, with twelve pages. On the multi-colored cover is a memorial to Krylov, with his portrait in an oval near the top. Various animals are included in the scene: a dog, a pike, a lobster, and a heron, along with a kettle of soup. Two illustrations help The Soup of Master John, the second of them the first of five beautiful multi-colored full-page illustrations. Quartet is next, followed by The Peasant and the Snake. The Horse and the Dog and The Wolf and the Crane close out the booklet. One of the loveliest little things in the collection. Is there a more recent rendition not done in color?
