Abstract
The six volumes in this series have each the same structure consisting of sixteen parts. Part VI is Los Animales Hablan: La Fabula. Here it begins on 75 and runs through 98. The special gift of this series, I think, lies in the brightly colored illustrations that interact with the text. Their excellence can be seen with DS on 82-83. We see the dog first running along, then looking into the water and seeing a bigger dog with a bigger piece of meat in his mouth. By the next picture, one sees only ripples on the water and a dog looking into it. The final picture shows him crying in his doghouse. Take a look at that crane on 86 bending all the way across the page, with his head totally engulfed by the wolf! My Spanish is not terrific, but I enjoy the lion's final answer to the ass who has used his voice to scare up prey for the lion. Tan terrible es tu voz, que hasta yo mismo he estado a punto di huir; mas, por fortuna, te conocía y sabía bien que tú, en el fondo, no eres otra cosa que un conejillo muy grande (91). These excellent art-pieces are almost all signed Mateldi, one of the many artists listed on the page after the title-page.
