Abstract
-
en_US
This is an unusual series of four books within the larger series Collection Tante Laura. Each book is about 7 square. The covers are stiff; at first I thought that each book was meant to house a 45 rpm record. In this fourth volume one finds five fables in twelve pages; they are listed on the front cover. The first fable, GA, is pictured in color on the cover and then given two black-and-white drawings inside the booklet. Parole de Socrate is mistakenly made into a plural in the listing of fables on the cover. After The Worker and His Children, which features an insert on La Fontaine in the illustration, MSA is offered with a full-page colored illustration of the father and son carrying the beast on a pole. The back cover contains a second fine colored illustration of the two being criticized for both riding the ass. The Animals Sick of the Plague has another full page of colored illustration, as does Death and the Dying Man. As in the earlier volumes, published in 1959 and 1960, colored illustrations in the first half of the book occur on left-hand pages, and those in the second half occur on right-hand pages. As always with Pellerin, the colors are exquisite. There are various styles within Pellerin's approach to illustration. There is a curious black-and-white illustration of a colporteur on the inside front-cover, with a wicker-basket on his back.
