O zajici a zelve a dalsi Ezopovy bajky

Abstract

This is, from all indications, a companion volume to "O lisce a capu a dalsi Ezopovy bajky." They have the same editor, artist, publisher, and year of publication. They even have the same number of fables on the same number of pages: twenty-five fables on 53 pages, as the closing T of C shows. The title fable here is TH, whose illustration is repeated on the back cover. Among the better full-page colored illustrations, which occur regularly on right-hand pages, I find "The Father of Two Daughters" (9); "The Donkey and the Lapdog" (13); "The Hares and the Frogs" (21); and "The Fortune-Teller" (53). As in the other volume, this nicely colored edition uses multiple images to tell a story, whether in paired images, as in "The Lion and the Fox" (29), or in several images brought together, as in "Acorn and Pumpkin" (15). This is a lovely find from several days in the Czech Republic in summer of 2017!
