Abstract

en_US
This book is especially dear to me because it was found in the Souks or Flea Markets of Casablanca. Though we argued for some time, I could not get the seller to take much off the price of this book. Its approach to its thirty fables is to put them on parchment scripts in the midst of bright, slick, fully colored pages that remind one of Disney. Each new line of verse begins with a red letter. Though these pictures will appeal more to the young than to adults, there is much to enjoy. I enjoy the way Doctor Wolf is propelled through the picture by the savvy horse (26-27). Notice the monkey ready to use his slingshot on 32. I like very much the opening two-page picture for BC (72-73): While Rodilard is watching the moon with his arm around his cat-sweetheart, the rats meet in a flimsy treehouse. The fish underwater in the foreground of Le Héron are beautiful bathing beauties in bikinis blowing him kisses (90-91)! The sick stag is surrounded by doctors, nurses, fire trucks, and ambulances (108-9)! It is of course strange to have missed this book in France and to have found it in Morocco! There is an AI at the back.
