This has no indication on its cover of a publisher, while that has ??ditions des deux coqs d'or. This back cover gives as that publisher's address 25, Boulevard des Italiens in Paris, while that gives 28, Rue la Bo??tie amid figures of animals and an Eskimo. Inside that booklet makes reference to the first trimestre of 1972, while this one refers to the fourth trimestre of 1959. Inside, that volume contains only two stories. This booklet has four stories and is much closer inside to the 1952 volume marked as #44 in the series Un Petit Livre D'Or published by Cocorico. Let me note the differences. That volume has decorated inside covers; these are blank. That volume offers an opening two-page spread, including a crowing rooster; this volume cuts out the left half of that spread and presents only the right side, showing a dog burrowing into a tree. Both proceed to a sunrise scene of sleeping dog and crowing rooster; this volume squeezes in an extra paragraph of the text. That volume adds then a picture of a sly fox awaking. They close with the same pair of pictures. TH is identical in the two booklets. Le Loup et les Chevreaux drops here the second-to-last picture and cuts the final picture, so that the text and smaller picture come together onto one page. In TMCM a beautiful two-page spread showing the city meal is cut down to one page. Again, the image on the last page is reduced--by cleverly removing the city's skyscrapers and the upper storeys of some buildings--to make room for the remaining text to fit. I promise never to buy a copy of this booklet again! Franciscus Josephus Desbillons Other/Unknown Material eskimo* Creighton University: Creighton Digital Repository (CDR) |
