Abstract
This sixteen-page pamphlet features a delightful front cover in brown, black, and grey of the two characters of the first fable. Then seven fables are presented in black-and-white. Perhaps the best of the four illustrations for GA is the last and smallest: the ant eats hot soup while a cooking pot in front of her steams away. The Monkey and Spectacles features particularly glasses suspended from the monkey's tail. FC has a fine flattering fox leaning into the tree below the crow. Elephant and Pug finishes with a proud pug walking away. Crane, Pike, and Crab is presented in usual fashion in a full-page illustration, but at the end of the short fable we see a wagon leaning downhill without anyone pulling it up. FG also contrasts a full-page illustration of the fox looking up with a smaller illustration of a wasp landing easily on some grapes in a bowl. In the last fable, a pigeon is laughing at a caged bullfinch when his own legs are caught in a snare. Russian presentations of Krylov tend to come back to favorite fables like these seven.
