Description du livre: Hamlyn, London, 1972. Laminated Pictorial Boards. État : Near Fine. Etat de la jaquette : Very Good. Benvenuti (illustrateur). 4to - over 9¾" - 12" tall. Light wear to the jacket edges, jacket spine lettering faded, price clipped, pages clean, binding very good. The Fables of the 17th century French poet, Jean de la Fontaine, are known and loved in every country of the world. Here, skilfully translated by John Orpen to preserve the charm of the originals, are seventy of La Fontaine's most delightful Fables. The stories are almost entirely about animals but, convincing though the characters are as Lions, Foxes, Bears and Storks, they clearly mirror types of men, women and children whom we can all immediately recognise. 'The Donkey in the Lion's Skin', 'The Frog and the Ox', 'The Fox and the Grapes' and 'The Lamb and the Wolf' each illustrates a sharp and simple moral, but at the same time the Fables are nearly always gay and humorous. They can certainly be enoyed at many levels: as a wise and subtle commentary on human nature, or simply as amusing stories about familiar animals. Benvenuti's witty and elegant illustrations of the animals dressed in seventeenth century styles - both rustic and courtly - add an enchanting dimension to La Fontaine's Fables, and perfectly reflect their cheerfulness. Every child will find this an irresistibly entertaining book. Book. N° de réf. du libraire 002671
