Abstract
Here is an earlier printing of a book I have already from its 1981 printing. Now it is printed in France; then, five years later, it will be printed in Italy. The only changes in the book occur in the small print on the bottom of the title-page and on the bottom of the last page. The symbol for Bias on the spine also changes from dice now to a simple name then. Let me include remarks I made on that later book. This large-format hard-covered book must be like hundreds of others published regularly in France. This one contains sixteen fables with colorful pictures appealing to children. Here I learned for the first time that in Le Cheval et l'Ane the horse on hearing the ass's request fit une pétarade. The artist here pictures the ass pulling a cart. TT is pictured just after the tortoise has opened his mouth. The girl in MM, who could be from a fashion magazine, has a small pitcher. Is she already tilting her head? Unpaginated. T of C at the end.
