Abstract

en_US
I have one other booklet in this series, La Fontaine: Le laboureur et ses enfants, Le pot de terre et le pot de fer from 1981. As I mentioned there, I am surprised at the title Fabliaux since the titles listed in the series are all fables. I wrote then that my work as a collector was cut out for me. I need to improve on my rate of progress, since it took me five years to find a second book in the collection! In this pamphlet's sixteen pages, Danon-Marcho offers a lively presentation of the fable. The facial expressions at the first meal of both wise-guy fox and disappointed stork are excellent. A mouse makes it into every scene, even riding the pendulum on the grandfather-clock as the fox enters the stork's house. The fox's frustration is perfectly expressed as he approaches his vase; the editors wisely put a detail of this scene onto the title-page. On the last pair of pages, La Fontaine makes an appearance to give the two-line lesson to children. In that scene, the mouse wears spectacles and reads a page.
