"Since I introduced Pierre Coran (pseud. Eug�ne Delaisse)
to my anglophone readers with the collection Fables in a
Modern Key (2014), my translation of his Fables � l'air du
temps, this whimsical octogenarian celebrated throughout
his native Belgium as a preeminent �children's poet��
though only, in truth, for the most precocious of children!�
has imperceptibly grown a year older and added
to his already enviable list of literary honors.
I admiringly offer here these Fables of Town and Country�
my version of his most recent collection, Fables des
villes et des champs�though quite confident that, by time
the manuscript goes to press, it will have been succeeded
by several others, and probably by another round of literary
honors as well". Norman R. Shapiro

Bilingual (French & English) edition illustrated through out in full color.

Besides many recent national translation awards in the last few years, he was recently recognized and decorated by the French government.

Olga Pastuchiv (Illustrator) is a children's book author, painter, and commercial illustrator. Her work is exhibited regularly in galleries here and abroad.
