Abstract
A straightforward prose version for young people. The book is done on cheap paper, and the illustrations, silhouettes with extensive captions, are viewed from the side rather than the bottom of the book. One can follow a great deal of the story with just the illustrations. Among the best of these is that of Renard dunging from a tree onto the sleeping watchman (141). New to me: Hermeline ransoms Reynard at the point of death by hanging in the lion's court (203). The last note on the illustration on 273 is delightful: It would have been necessary to make many designs to illustrate this story. (And so we get one.) Facing the title page is a notice of another edition of Renard by Chauveau, ou sont contées les aventures de Renard que la révérence due à la jeunesse n'a pas permis de rapporter en celle-ci.
