'Reynard the Fox' is available in Taiwanese book stores. Henri Van Daele, the author of the retelling of this European classic, collaborated with Klaas Verplancke, who celebrates his 20th anniversary as an illustrator this year. The Taiwanese publisher Reading Times presents a sneak preview of this remarkable edition on their website.
The original 'Van den vos Reynaerde' is a medieval story about lies and deceit in the animal (human) world. It had already been translated into French, German, English, Italian and Esperanto. With the Taiwanese edition, a Taiwanese translation is added to that list.
'Reinaart de vos, de felle met de rode baard' received the Plantin Moretus Prize for graphic design in 2007. Klaas Verplancke's illustrations were selected for the Bologna Illustrators Exhibition in 2008, and for the Portuguese competition Illustrarte in 2009.
