Remark:
Here an oversized (9¼ x 13) paperbound version of nineteen of La Fontaine's fables with the delightful art work of Cremonini very well rendered. As in earlier English version from 1958 (The Fables of Aesop and La Fontaine) using the same material copyrighted by Fratelli Fabbri, this edition has witty and exuberant watercolors. Many feature cute insects having fun around the central action. As I mention there, the milkmaid marries a farmer and so gets all that she had dreamed about! The grapes fall from laughter to a waiting rabbit after the fox goes away. What a delightful gift!
