Abstract
Ten fables in a squarish hardbound edition that includes a colored illustration for each fable and some black-and-whites besides. This book seems a clear partial reprint in smaller format of of Marcus' 1949 edition with the same title. Notice that the books share the same printer: Beuchet et Vanden Brugge. The mystery here is that this book adds three fables that do not appear in the larger earlier work: Le Coq & le Renard, Le Coche et la Mouche, and DW. And the full-page illustration for TH is reversed. The partial-page colored illustrations there tend to become black-and-white here. Among the best colored illustrations here are those for GGE, Le Coche et la Mouche (even sharper on the book's back cover), FS, and Le Héron. A very nice book. The bottom of the spine is wounded. Now, in 2008, I have a second copy with an even more wounded spine. I will use it particularly for shows to students, since it represents very good foreign art work and heavy usage of a book.
