Abstract

en_US This book spurred me on to try finding more information on Michalkov. Wow, he was a star! He wrote and rewrote the lyrics to the Soviet/Russian national anthem three times! He fathered two children who were movie directors of quality. He was decorated and redecorated by his country through epochs! This purchase is remarkable because I bought the book on eBay for $1 and shipping from wherever cost $24! This seems to be my earliest Michalkov. It is hard for me to distinguish if the illustrations are two-color or three-color, but they are obviously from Rayev. The two-page title-page spread is typical of Rayev's work: Ass, hare, and pig on the left toast two animals on the right. I suspect that those on the left will become victims! In addition to the full-page illustrations, there are designs next to the initials of stories. There are also post-fable designs like the bill on 36. Rayev's illustrations in fewer colors are a promise of the great things to come in many colors. A good sample is the full-page illustration on 53 of two cats, one large and celebratory and the other holding a mouse with a bow on its tail. Is this latter an offering of homage? Oh, to know the story!
