Abstract
-
en_US
A good comprehensive edition of Oudry, though the printing is not as good as in the Thornbury edition (1875?), where one hundred of Oudry's illustrations appear. This book lacks the introductory and appendix material. T of C at the end. The classic settings tend to overpower the narrative in Oudry's work. Often a viewer has to work to find the fable in the midst of it all. The fable itself is sometimes energetic, violent, or funny in peaceful surroundings. I find no reference to this work in either Bodemann or Bassy. In the good copy the first few pages are shaken. The good copy is inscribed in 1915.
