Abstract
There are eighteen fables in this oversize book. The first and last of the eighteen have three pages. All others have two, and the layout of these two pages is formulaic. On the left page is a title, La Fontaine's text, and a clever design. The right page is a full page of color illustration without border signed Rapeño. The style of these seems to me quite retro, suggesting the illustrations of someone like Milo Winter. Perhaps the most interesting of them has the reflection of the stag growing right out of the small point of land on which he stands. The cover (but nothing inside) has the interesting note in small print just below the illustration: D'après l'édition originale de 1947.
