Abstract
Here is a delightful children's book of forty-six of Krylov's fables with lively colored illustrations. The book has a strong sense of play, right from the pre-title page's illustration of inkpot, feather, violin, glasses, and manuscript. It is not hard to recognize old friends here. The first fables are FC, WL, Quartet, GA, and The Elephant in the Museum. Among the good lively illustrations here are The Soup of Master John (24-25); Wolves and Sheep (32-33); Old Mat and His Man (ruining the bearskin) (48-49); Trishkin's Kaftan (55); Peasant and Robber (58); and Wayfarers and Hounds (62). This book will be a valuable resource the next time I get to teach Krylov in a fable course.
