Abstract
This is a paperback version of a book already in the collection. Its main difference is that, while it announces belonging to a limited edition of 270 copies, it gives no individual number. As I wrote of the much more expensive hardbound copy, early material here includes a notice of the edition and its limitations, a frontispiece portrait of Florian, a note from the editors, a preface, and an introduction to the fable genre. That makes up 59 pages before we arrive at Adan's "La Fable et la Verité" -- perhaps the most important illustration in the book -- and the texts of the twenty fables in Florian's first book with its twenty-one fables. Adan's "L'Enfant et le Miroir" starts the second book and its nineteen fables. Each of Adan's illustrations is nicely protected by a slipsheet. Adan's "Le Roi Alphonse" leads off the third book and its twenty fables, to be followed by Adan's "L'Avare et son Fils" and the fourth book. The fourth book likewise contains twenty fables. The fifth book begins with Adan's "Le Charlatan" and contains twenty fables. The appendix is highlighted by Adan's "L'Enfant et le Dattier." It contains twelve fables. Following the appendix are notes, an AI, and a T of C. 4¾" x 7". Bodemann #364.
