Abstract
A beautiful large-format hardbound book in excellent condition. The version used here departs significantly from LaFontaine's text. This version adds--and puts special emphasis on--the children who come out to listen to the cobbler's songs. It also adds a number of hiding places which the cobbler actually tries; LaFontaine's cobbler tried just one. This version leaves out the delightful piece of conversation with the financier in which it becomes clear that the cobbler does not reckon up what he makes in a year. I keep finding more of these large-format LaFontaine books done by Wildsmith.
