Abstract
Here is the French version of a smaller and more recent English pamphlet from Grandreams that I dated 1986? This booklet is not only larger; it takes more space for things like a title-page and a last repeated illustration (detail of the fox) after the story. Here Tante Tsylla et Frédérique Laurant are acknowledged; they will not be acknowledged there. The illustrations are all larger proportionally here. Like the later, smaller reprinting, this book builds off of a fascinating concept: a second, longer story echoes in human terms the lesson of the fable. A tinker exploits a rich man who wants to learn to sing; when the rich man is poor, the tinker disappears. The art is cute but sometimes anatomically off. The arm of the fox facing the actual fable seems bent in the wrong direction. I seem to have found six of the series of eight booklets. Mulder appears nowhere in the booklet, but it is on both the front and the back cover.
