Abstract

en_US
I have two later booklets depicting La Fontaine's fables by Sabran, both in La Bibliothèque Rouge et Bleue from this same publisher. I like Sabran's work! Here there is some overlap in the twelve fables illustrated in his work of the same title from 1960. The booklets are of the same size: 10½ x 7¾. This booklet has 28 pages, as against the 36 there. This booklet offers one to four lively, colorful, expressive illustrations for each of its twelve fables: GA, Le Héron, TH, BF, Le Coche et la Mouche, Le Lion et le Moucheron, FG, WL, FS, FC, LM, and GGE. Some illustrations are duochrome and some polychrome. Among my favorites here are the title-page illustration of GA; the heron as fisherman (5, also on the cover); the trumpeting mosquito (16); and the greedy collector of golden eggs (28). Keeping vigilant on eBay pays off in a lovely booklet like this one!
