Abstract
This engaging presentation of La Fontaine has red cloth covers, with silver title and a silhouette of MSA on its front cover and of FC on the back. The binding has been unsatisfactorily repaired. The most engaging feature of the book consists, for me, in Anya's black-and-white illustrations, which either approach or are silhouettes. Most fables have one or two, and they are apt. Consider, for example, the old man holding his planted tree and pointing at the three youths who wonder about his future orientation (150). Similarly engaging is the reflective slumberer in "Gourd and Acorn" on 121. Perrette skips along on 109. The jokester perches on 79 with a view of the bear sniffing out his companion. Death reaches out to the tired gatherer of wood on 19. 158 pages.
