Abstract
Here is a Dutch reprint of The Rabbit and the Turtle: Aesop's Fables Retold and Illustrated by Eric Carle, first printed in 1976 with a different cover. The information facing the title-page seems to indicate that some of the stories contained here appeared earlier in De aap en de vos in 1980. The illustrations -- full right-hand pages facing text on the left-hand pages -- are particularly sharp here. As I mentioned when I first encountered Carle's work, his art is both lively and playful. FC (26) and GA (28) offer excellent illustrations from this fine piece of work. The crow holds a sausage in his beak, a plate with another sausage in one foot, and a knife and fork in his hands, while a wine-bottle and glass sit perched in the tree! Fox and child sit waiting patiently on a bench below. (That same fox and child appear on the title-page.) It is good to see a talented artist like Carle reprinted elsewhere!
