    Remark:
    It would be hard to exaggerate the merits of this beautiful book. The fun starts with the cover picture of bookshelves with figurines of two pots, a tortoise and a hare, and a fox and a crow around a pensive La Fontaine wearing a scarf made of a page of his own printed fable text. Each of the thirty artists has contributed four elements: a full-page colored illustration in one of many different styles (the right-hand page in each fable's set of two pages), a matching colored initial letter, a black-and-white design that appears below the text on the left-hand page, and a self-portrait. The latter are collected at the end of the volume. My favorites among the illustrations include FG (8-9), The Lion in Love (16-17), 2P (18-19), The Rat Who Retired from the World (40-41), The Fisherman and the Little Fish (52-3), The Cat, the Weasel, and the Young Rabbit (58-9), and WL by Tony Ross (60-61). T of C at the front. A real treasure!
