Abstract
Here is an oversized (9½ x 11¾ ) two-staple pamphlet of sixteen pages offering eight fables: LM; AD; The Wolf and the Fox and the Well; Two Goats; TT; FK; The Wolf and the Fox Pleading Before the Monkey; and The Old Man and His Children. The pamphlet belongs to a genre that I associate with the name of the publisher Gordinne in Belgium. Among Liozu's illustrations, I would give the prize to the colored cover illustration of Two Goats. AD and TT get full-page black-and-white illustrations, the latter of people fearing the falling tortoise. There are also partial-page line-drawings for LM, TT, and FK. There is significant water damage along the spine. Liozu seems to have been active as an artist for ephemeral books between 1945 and 1950. I am happy that this collection can save a fragile ephemeral object like this pamphlet!
