""The idea of illustrating these texts had been suggested by the Bibliophile Jacob Paul Lacroix who had been commissioned by Balzac's widow for the philological revision of the text. The illustrations fall within a caricatural and 'droll' vein; they reveal Gustave Doré's immense talent his attraction to landscape and his ease in portraying grotesque characters as well as in capturing burlesque scenes. 'This illustration is like no other in its powerful originality: it is Gaulish Rabelaisian and sparkling with wit. Doré certainly lavished the best of his talent on the Contes drolatiques. They had no success however and the entire edition was marked down. Today it is one of Doré's most sought-after works"" Leblanc. Garnier frères hardcover
