Abstract

It is strange how a cover affects one's perception of a book. I bought this beautifully covered pair of volumes thinking that the illustrations must be significant. When I came to examine the books, I found the illustrations quite plain. I was disappointed. I picked four for special mention but did not think that even they were special: Le Lion et le Moucheron (53); Le Loup, la Chèvre et le Chevreau (100); Le Loup, la Mère et l'Enfant (102); and GGE (121). Then, as I went into the process of entering the book in the collection, I realized that I had found these volumes before--in an inexpensive version. There I was surprised positively. Here I was surprised negatively. And at least one of my choices was consistent, since I had picked Le Loup, la Chèvre et le Chevreau (100) for commendation there too.
