Abstract

en_US
Thirty fables presented by arranging Goudy Old Style typeface characters into the appropriate animals and other characters. The book combines, in Cornwell's words, my love of clean, polished design with my passion for well-told stories (7). This is a gorgeous book! Good samples for investigation are on 16-17: here bear and fox are cleverly contrived from letters and punctuation marks, while trees are green A's with H stumps. The cock's tail on the facing page is a fan of C's and his legs are built of capital I's. I particularly enjoy the tortoise plummetting to her death on 33 as a strange jumble of letters but still clearly a tortoise. DS's water on 34-35 is made up of a series of elongated blue capitals. 46-47 present a crowd of delightfully fashioned animals watching the monkey and camel dance. What fun! Do not miss Cornwell's self-portrait -- in Goudy, of course! -- on the back flyleaf.
