Abstract
-
en_US
Here is the French original of a recent acquisition, Eight Fables by La Fontaine, published by Mulder & Zoon and listed under 1955? See my comments there. I knew I had seen this book before, and the fox's gesture on the cover is the clue! The fables appear here in the form of La Fontaine's verse. The same fables are handled (WL, TMCM, OF, FC, LM, TH, FS, and GA), with what seem to be the same illustrations. The concept is also the same: after each verse fable, there is a parallel story (often a fairy tale) again illustrating its moral. The question remains where the English translator got the surprising adaptations of the fables, e.g., in LM. The title-page is detached. Paper boards and a deteriorating spine.
