Abstract

en_US
The great thing about this book, I would say, is the hand-colored illustrations. There are some sixty fables on 144 pages. Unfortunately, none of the fables featured here are in Shapiro's Fabulists French, and these texts are, I fear, beyond me. Each of the fables has a multi-colored illustration before and after the text. (Only a few fables near the end seem to lack an endpiece.) Some, like The Goat Who Had Himself Shaved in American Fashion (8), have several illustrations around the text. I was going to write that June 30, 1945, would have been quite a time to be in Paris; then I found the little Nazi marching as an endpiece on 24. Again on 115, is that an Allied soldier chasing a German soldier? For sheer loveliness of color, enjoy The Nightingale and the Parrot on 32. One picture after another is simply delightful. Shapiro mentions that Franc-Nohain brings all sorts of creatures into the fable world of Industrial Revolutionization. There is a T of C at the end. Some pages are uncut. I am delighted to have found this book!
