Abstract
-
en_US
This version redoes the 203 fables presented by James in his 1848 edition. A random check suggests that the changes go beyond mere substituting of one more modern word for an archaic one. Zipes says in his opening Note (xiii) that he consulted numerous other nineteenth-century translations. He admits to taking a good deal of poetic license. He has occasionally conceived new morals. The order of fables does not match that in the 1848 James/Tenniel edition. Grandville's illustrations do not have much chance to come off their gray background in this inexpensive printing. There is a thoughtful afterword (276) and a good short bibliography.
