Abstract
Here are forty-six of Krylov's fables in a canvas-bound book of 112 pages for children. Laptyev's twenty-four full-page black-and-white illustrations are classics not only in the sense that they are excellent representations of the texts but also because they appear in other editions of Krylov. The illustrations are all dated in 46, 47, or 48. Enjoy, e.g., the cornering of the wolf in the kennel on 31, the breakdown of the immoderate horse on 47, the ass giving the nightingale a musical critique on 57, the visitor to the museum overlooking the elephant on 79, or the guest running away from more soup on 85. The cover itself has a nice pair of illustrations: the crow sits with the cheese atop the first letter of Basni, and the fox runs off the cover with the cheese at the bottom right.
