Remark:
I already have two copies of this book and record, Now I have found an earlier copy. Two clues lead me to believe that it is earlier, and then there is a strange anomaly I need to mention. The two clues are that the paper used in the fable booklet is not the shiny paper used in the other two versions. The second clue is that those other versions advertised Volumes 3 and 4 in this series. This copy advertises Volume 2. The anomaly is that this early copy appeals to a publishing law of 1960. Those other copies appeal to an earlier publishing law in 1955. I have put down 1960 as the date for this copy, since it is a firm terminus post quem. Probably the date of those other two copies needs to be adjusted to be sometime after 1960. As I wrote of them, here ten fables are shown and read by Yves-Gérard le Dantec. A 45 rpm record is part of the package. Monochrome and polychrome pages alternate. The illustrations are lively if nothing else. I will keep the book and record together among the books,
