Abstract
A propos of the book published as Fables de la Fontaine (No. 1) in 1972 I wrote that there was now a Fables de la Fontaine (No. 2) in the series. The first La Fontaine volume had apparently been published alone earlier; I have that copy under 1970? Now I have found two copies of that Fables de la Fontaine (No. 2) in the same format as the first and illustrated by the same artist. This book has Lito 40356 on the front cover and it has a large 2 not only on its spine but in the lower right corner of the front cover. The spine also has 14 to give its number in the series Collection Belles Années. The whole list of eighteen books in the collection is given on the back cover, as it was in the first volume. There are again eleven fables. Two stretch onto a third page. This is a pleasing large-format children's book. The illustration for DS is surprising for its violence. The dog struggles for survival as a hare runs away from the water. Is this water in which the dog could have seen a reflection? By contrast, the very next illustration suggests nicely what the stag saw in the water.
