Abstract
This title means something like Hearthfire lighted twice: The Fables of La Fontaine interpreted in the regional dialect of the marshlands of the Vendée. Vendée is a district of France that was apparently very important during the revolution. This is a large-format (9½ x 12¼) paperbound booklet of 50 pages. Nineteen fables follow the letter to Madame de Sévigne. At the end there is a page of vocabulary in this dialect and a page of pronunciation rules. Can pages like these have been mimeographed? That is the impression. Almost every fable, two or three pages in length, gets one illustration, in a beige box within the white page. The illustrations have a simple charm. The earliest are perhaps the best representation of Douillard's visual work: GA, FC, and TH. When I read the text, I notice many well-known French words, but I would have trouble construing the sense.
