Abstract
-
en_US
I have worked my way back to a first printing of this book, which I had found printed in 1961 and again in 1973. The three printings were done, in chronological order, in France, Monaco, and Belgium. This copy is in fine condition and includes a dust jacket. One young reader did not comment here, as there, on 94 in reference to the drawings of mother and children You forgot the nose! I will include some of my comments from the 1973 edition. This pleasant children's book handles fifty-nine fables well, with both black-and-white and colored illustrations. Among the best colored illustrations are those presenting WL (24-25), Le Geai Pare des Plumes du Paon (89), and the weeping hare (125). There are some strange combinations of colored and black-and-white illustrations on facing pages (e.g., 16-17, 20-21, and 60-61). The best of the black-and-white illustrations may be the nice spread given to the two rats on 180-81. There is a T of C at the end.
