Abstract
Like the French edition which it translates, this edition treats eighty-three fables and adds numerous black-and-white illustrations to the earlier editions offering only forty-four fables. Those earlier editions are English (1962), Spanish (1965), and Czech (1974). The French original for this work is Fables choisies de La Fontaine (1974) published by Grund in Paris. See also the later 1996 edition of the same work by Grund. What this later generation adds visually includes especially smaller black-and-white illustrations on text pages. The initials in this edition also add red coloring. The earlier and later editions share ten full-page colored illustrations and nine black-and-white full-page illustrations. The best among them are of the lap-donkey, FM, the crow with plumes, and MSA.
