Abstract
This paperbound booklet puts together seven fables from Iriarte and nine from Jean de La Fontaine. These prose fables with stated morals are confined to two-pages each. The book may well be in series with Lea's "Fábulas maravillosas" featuring Aesop and Samaniego. The colored art is again big, dramatic, and simple. Iriarte seems to me regularly to be grinding an axe, even when the fable is not directed to his critics. "The Ox and the Grasshopper" has the latter containing about a crooked row ploughed by the former. The ox's answer includes both that most rows are straight and that he is working, by contrast with the singing grasshopper. The master forgives an oversight from one working so hard. Among the best illustrations might be that for FS, which offers a clear contrast in one scene. Also good is "The Cat and the Fox." 6½" x 9½".
