Abstract

en_US Finding this book was one of the happy little miracles I have experienced in developing this collection. On a visit to South Pasadena, I stopped at a neighborhood used book shop that I remembered from a previous visit. The attendant said that she unfortunately had no fables. I did find a small LaFontaine illustrated by Girardet, but it was too expensive for a book of which I already have multiple editions. I figured that I had exhausted my possibilities, but I checked foreign language. As I came to the end of the last shelf, I noticed two Asian books and started to page through. The first story is WSC, and the second FG. I soon found Aesop's picture on the last page. I was holding a needle found in a haystack! The illustrator here, Pia Valentinis, has a different style from Stefano Tartarotti's in the first volume. The cover puts several wild animals into a jungle scene. It is repeated on 10-11. There seems to be some Modigliani in her style of illustration for 2W on 29. Turn the page, and there is a massive ox crushing a frog. As the book starts with a two-page spread on 10-11, it finishes with a striking red two-page spread on 66-67. This second volume again has 67 pages, and again the pagination seems to begin from and to include the front cover. Again there is a T of C at the beginning listing twenty-five stories.
