Abstract

This paperbound book is simpler and shorter than a similar volume of Florian's fables for which I have guessed a date of 1950. That volume had Editions Enfantines added to the company logo on the back cover, and this volume does not. That volume had 32 pages and a canvas binding. This now has 16 pages with two staples at the center Again the title-page, like the cover, gives a visualization of the fables that appear here, though here the title-page is done in only blue-and-white. The title-page here does not have a pre-title-page. Fables here include WC, TH, TT, LM, DLS, UP, TMCM, and The Cat and the Two Sparrows. The loss of one of the central staples perhaps contributed to the fact that the book came to me with the middle pages misplaced. Most fables have a colored illustration, either full-page or partial. Perhaps the best of these is TT. The blue-and-white line drawings, e.g., for MM, may be even better done. The book is delicate and in only fair condition.
