Abstract
This 8½" square unpaginated paperback booklet offers eight fables in full color, as did its first – though unnumbered – volume in 2019. Each fable receives about six pages. The colored illustrations cover whole pages, into which several verses are inserted per page. The art may well be computer generated. Each fable has a prose moral added. Gestin has fun with the load of stuff tied to the back of the ass and then, with the dead ass, to the back of the horse. A great illustration is that of the dying worker in the dark with his children. Also presented here are AD; “Lion and Gnat”; LM; DW; “Little Fish and Angler”; and 2P. At the end is again a helpful lexicon of unusual vocabulary, arranged by fable. The two covers together present a scene with La Fontaine and these fables' characters. The front cover pictures animals running fast together from left to right, with the dove above doing the same.
