Remark:
This is a combination book that includes a 45 rpm record, with eight fables narrated by Gerard Philipe. Its first gift to me is that it shows the source for the illustrations used on the lovely menus produced for La Compagnie Générale Transatlantique in 1957. These are lovely watercolors! Each of the eight fables has a full-page (7¼ x 7¼) colored illustration: MM, L'Ane et le petit Chien, WL, Le Singe et le Dauphin, FC, Le Petit Poisson et le Pêcheur, Le Coche et la Mouche, and Le Loup devenu Berger. My prize goes to the milkmaid! She is also on the cover. I do not know if the 1 on the cover and title-page suggests that there are other books of La Fontaine in the series, or merely that La Fontaine is the first in the disque-album series. The hunt continues!
