Turkish Tales of Virtue

1998/2000 La Fontaine Masallari: 10 Masal. Yayina Hdazirlayan: Esra Goksen. Resimleyen: Serdar Canaslan. Hardbound. Istanbul: Masal Demeti Dizisi 3: Erdem Yayinlari. $5 from Ugur Yurtuttan, Istanbul, Turkey, Feb., '04. 

This hardbound book contains, apparently, ten sixteen-page pamphlets that may also have been published independently. Each has a title-page with "La Fontaine Masallari" and a number from "1" to "10" across the top of the page. After a circle containing one colored picture, there is a specific title. Then Goksen and Canaslan are recognized, with "Erdem Yayinlari" at the bottom. Each story's pages are numbered independently. The stories include AD, WC, TMCM, GA, CJ, "The Lion and the Mosquito," "The Birds, the Beasts, and the Bat," FC, "The Lapdog and the Ass," and "The Cat and the Mice." The ant here bites the hunter on the ear. TMCM may have the liveliest illustrations. My prize for the best illustration goes to the ass that has flattened his owner to the ground with his playful leap (on 13 of the ninth story).
