Abstract
This second booklet in the series of four is another memorable squarish book, just over 8 and just less than 8 wide. Mallet's work is unique, and that quality makes the book memorable. In its 24 pages, five fables are illustrated: MM (3 illustrations); FM (3 illustrations); FS (2 illustrations); Le Coach and the Fly (2 illustrations); and The Fox and the Goat (2 illustrations). The back cover is a bonus illustration of the milkmaid dreaming of cows and pigs. The cover seems to be a melange of fables, including some beyond this book's contents. The illustrations are again full-page and in color. Maybe the best of all these are the climactic scene of FS (15) and the last scene of The Fox and the Goat (23). Is the fox thumbing his nose at the goat as he walks away and leaves him stranded? The frog here seems to have the rat caught with a fishing pole's line, not with a line tied to the legs of both characters.
