Abstract

en_US
This book picks up where a 2003 book left off. Both are published by the same publisher -- Caramel -- but this book is in a different series, Pop Jeunesse rather than SDP Le Livre Club. In that copy the cover is of soft material and the title is in italics. I began working on this book on the assumption that this was that same book in different trappings. The structure, size, and style are the same -- even the advertising words on the back-cover are the same -- but this is an extension of that book, with 45 different La Fontaine fables. Thus the cover here pictures not the fables of the 2003 volume but rather TH, OF, GA, FS, and TMCM, all from this volume. As I wrote there, this is a 94-page large-format book for children with lively illustrations and almost no bibliographical information. The AI on 94 confirms that there are forty-five of La Fontaine's fables here. A curious feature of this book remains the way in which each overlaid window with text on it does not obscure the underlying background scene. A particularly good touch comes in Le Coche et la Mouche (6-7), where one can trace the flight of the fly. One can also see the horse's aggravation with the fly! There is a great expression on the oak's face as he starts to give way in OR on 28-29. The just-kicked-wolf on 70 is well rendered. The cheese-house of the retired rat on 78-79 is a curious construction. Again the two ducks carry their stick above the AI. Every fable here gets a two-page spread. Slick art, this time with a hard cover.
