Abstract
La Fontaine's Life of Aesop runs from 65 to 93 in this little (4½ x 6¾) book. Twenty-six of La Fontaine's fables are on 7-62. Helm's art is curious. As the dust-jacket's cover shows, her art tends to slivers, small lines that line up like magnetic particles. They also give almost any actor a hirsute character. Her art also tends towards dividing up bodies and dissociating their parts. The title illustration for Valmid (5) is a good example. The fox in several parts on 13 is another. A further example of this creative tendency is the lion's head on 16 that is divided into four quarters. A more extreme example is the fox that is divided into a head and a jug with a tail on 23. Is that GGE on 41 that has a hen turning coins into eggs?
