Abstract
This unbound Volume IV consists of 135 pages of fables, nine pages of a T of C, and a colophon, all in eight page segments gathered in a portfolio of boards and enclosed in a box. Each fable begins on a new page. The frontispiece seems to have La Fontaine being invited into the "Chambre du Sublime." When I first opened this volume, I got a scare, since the signatures were all mixed up. I am happy to say that the complete volume is here. TT is dramatic (11). "The Wolf and the Fox" is dark but dramatic (60). The presentation of "The Companions of Ulysses" suggests well the attitude of man and of beast in this provocative fable (75). The four characters are well integrated in "The Crow, the Gazelle, the Turtle, and the Rat" (111). Delightful stuff! Not in Bodemann.
