Abstract
-
en_US
A chance walk down the Rue St-André brought me past a small book store, and I found this book, close to the ultimate in large-format, bright-colored, simple-art books for children. The book is 11 x 14½. There are just over one hundred fables here. Most are one or two pages in length, as the closing T of C on 156-57 shows. Not all fables are illustrated. Sometimes the simplest illustrations are the best. So here, the plow left in the dirt on 29 serves as a fine illustration for The Laborer and His Children. Among the most dramatic illustrations are SS (48-9), The Two Goats (82), and La Lice et sa Compagne (84-5). A special prize goes to the unique point of view taken for The Weasel Who Got into a Granary (108-9). Frogs get the best facial expressions here, whether worried (120) or duplicitous (133). Individual illustrations are cleverly lifted from their specific places (like TT on 46) and worked into the composite illustration on the endpapers.
