Abstract

en_US Some 28 fables are here given two pages each. A large illustration shares space with the fable's title, and there is a continuation or echo on the right page with the text. There are some of the best Krylov illustrations I have seen. There are some borrowed fables particularly well illustrated, e.g. FC (4-5) and FG (42-43). Among his own original fables, I recommend here: The Little Box (6-7); The Wolf in the Kennels (10-11); Wayfarers and Hounds (12-13); Pike and Cat (16-17); Old Mat and His Man and a Bear (18-19); The Sightseer and the Elephant in the Museum (26-27); The Soup of Master John (28-29); Ass and Nightingale (30-31); The Monkey, the Mirror, and the Bear (32-33); Lion and Fox (36-37); The Cat and the Cook (52-53); and Trishkin's Kaftan (56-57). One of my prizes goes to The Soup of Master John (28-29) for its fine illustration. The stuffed eater looks ready to kill! The other prize goes to The Cat and the Cook (52-53). The expressions of both are excellent! Taped spine.
