Fables Choisies de Jean de La Fontaine

Abstract

This miniature book follows upon Biotop's earlier miniature 11 Fables de La Fontaine (1993), featuring the illustrations of Olivier Le Pahun. Here there is only the cover illustration, repeated in black-and-white as frontispiece, by Sylvie Charton. It shows an owl, apparently suspended among reeds, reading a book. The cover presents a pleasing combination of purple, tan, and green. There are ten fables inside, with a beginning T of C, labeled Sommaire. The book measures about 1 x 1¼. There are 75 pages plus advertisements at the back. Though the spine reads Fables Tome 2, there is no indication in the book that it is a second volume of a set.
