Abstract
Here is a complete edition of Krylov's fables. I trust the library's bibliographers who came up with the date of 1930, which I cannot find in the book itself. Two questions jump out at me from this paperback book that has lasted some eighty years. First, was there a Moskba Publishing firm in Berlin and Paris in 1930? Expatriots? A Communist Bolshevist outfit in Paris? Secondly, I would love to track down the Billinghurst illustrations. I am willing to be that they are simply stolen from his Aesop and La Fontaine books and then supplied with (rather crude) Russian titles. In that case, it would be a testimony to how much Krylov depended on those two for his fable stories. Is there an N. Olshansky somehow also involved in the production of this book?
