Remark:
A lovely book of nineteen fables presented with liveliness and ingenuity, starting with the engaging image of La Fontaine leaning out from his framed picture on the title page. The best illustrations include the underwater view of the heron with a worm (11), three combined images for TMCM (15), and a telling vignette of the wolf carrying off the lamb (21). The book has great facial expressions, e.g., of the oak looking down on the reed (28) and of both characters in FS (34-35).
