Abstract
-
en_US
This is one of the most delightful La Fontaine books I have seen recently. It shows wit and creativity as its illustrations bring the texts into contemporary life. Each of thirty fables receives a two-page spread in this landscape book's layout, as is clear from the T of C at the back. It will be hard to list all of the individual illustrations that I find impressive. GA's conversation is set on a Bienvenue doormat, on which the ant with his or her torso pointed out in front faces the cicada (2-3). Dautremer modernizes FC by putting the crow on top of a telephone pole (4-5). FWT is cleverly illustrated by a cut out and dress up paper doll (7). The fox begs the stork to help him up onto his tall stool (9; also see the front cover). OF features the sort of choice meat cuts poster we usually see for beef, now done for a frog (14-15)! Perhaps the best of all the illustrations presents the lamb from an angle taken through the wolf's sharp-toothed mouth (27). Do not miss the washing-instruction label on one of the sheep on 31. Other delightful illustrations include La Belette entrée dans un Grenier (38-39); Le Chat, la Belette et le Petit Lapin (40-41); and 2P (44-45). What a delight!
