Abstract

en_US
Here is the French version of a book first published by Kingfisher in Great Britain and Houghton Mifflin in the USA, both in 2005. Except for the French language, a publication date one year later, and the lack of a dust-jacket, this book is identical with that. Let me repeat comments I made on the English edition. This is a good book! Each of the eight fables gives an autobiographical Sitz im Leben for Aesop's telling of the story. For example, the foolhardy plans of his fellow slave-boy friends for running away and becoming pirates are a prelude to Aesop's telling them BC. The book has warm, colorful contemporary illustrations. LM (14) is particularly well told. GGE (36) is presented with an unusual turn: the riches from earlier golden eggs vanish when the goose is killed. An unusual situation explains the first invitation in FS (50): the fox owed the deer a favor, who happened to be with the stork while the fox was cooking up some recently stolen food. When invited, the deer said that she could not make it, but recommended that the stork take her place.
