Abstract
I knew and admired Baudoin for her Fables de la Fontaine, published by Casterman in 1955. I recognized her style immediately. I found this reprint of the 1958 original early in an afternoon of shopping the Buchinists along the Seine. Later in the afternoon I would find a copy of the 1955 original edition. As in her La Fontaine, Baudoin's illustrations show a great use of color. The cover illustration -- Renard with a fish -- gives a good sense of Renard's mischievous character. That character continues to be a focus when Baudoin illustrates Renard himself. She also does a good job of showing the plight of his wounded, bandaged victims.
