Abstract
Here are fifteen fables, also presented in an accompanying audio CD. There is an opening T of C. Each fable gets a two-page spread. The illustrations by Boillot are downright fun. The crow who has given up his cheese, for example, hangs with wonderful frustration over the branch upon which he was earlier perched (2-3). The exploded frog is seldom presented with such exact detail as she is here (5)! The left margin of the text for OR is bent like a reed in the wind (9): how clever! The snapshot of the struggling mule-owner is perfect: both animal and man--with their heads held just above the water level--are desperate. Under each of the man's hands is a sponge. The laborer and his children are moles (12-13)! The cat coming to break up a violent fight between the weasel and the rabbit is a fat, tonsured monk (17). The stork has invited the fox to a large banquet that includes many other eaters, all with long beaks and snouts (30-31). This illustration is cleverly reshaped to form the front cover's illustration.
