Abstract
A beautiful sideways book. Chauveau was a sculptor and writer who did these works in the 20's; they were never published. His grandson writes perceptively in the introduction: Precision du trait, sobriété et apparente naïveté de la forme, choix des couleurs, tout concourt à rendre immédiatement accessible la fable ainsi mise en image. Among the best of the twenty-six are these five: FC (#1); Le Singe et le Dauphin (#5); Le Savetier et le Financier (#8); Le Loup, la Mère et lEnfant (#16), and La Vieille et les deux Servantes (#21). Do not miss the touching back-cover scene of a fox at the statue of La Fontaine.
