Le Piú Belle Fiabe di Esopo

Abstract

This is a 9¼ x 13¼ book of simple two-page fable spreads between cardboard covers. Each left-hand page has the same colored floral frame around its text. The nineteen fables include a number that are not on editors' usual short lists. I do not know if I have ever before seen an illustration for The Bat, the Blackberry Bush, and the Seagull in Maritime Partnership. The art is very simple. Maybe the best illustration puts a great face on the ass about to hunt with the lion.
