Abstract

en_US
How wonderful to find the first volume of this edition, when I had found the second by chance two years ago in Sonoma. And this bookstore deals principally in art books. When I took the two volumes to the desk and asked where they might have more fable books, the answer was We don't have that kind of book! The colors of the fifty-nine aquarelles are wonderful. Some of my favorites are: the frontispiece of La Fontaine himself in great purple, the ant's packed storehouse (45), Death and the Woodman (81), The Hare and the Frogs (131), CW (141), WC (173), and DLS (294). The brown monochrome designs are also fine. The book is in fine condition. It is perhaps the loveliest book I found in Tokyo!
