Abstract

en_US This little (4" x 6½") book was first published a year before, according to Wikipedia. I would not be surprised if this is in fact a first printing. A 24-page "Vorbericht" begins by explaining the title. There follows a T of C and 106 numbered texts on 247 pages. As far as I could notice, they are all verse texts. This book is different from Krummacher's three volumes of Parables (1805-1817). I tried the first four here. The lark after a horrendous storm answers the complaining mole that song and flight are two of nature's answers to troubles. "See, a first ray of sun is peeking through." I suspect these fables (Krummacher seems to identify apologue and fable) are similarly positive and similarly predictable. The tulip criticizes the lily, who answers that both work together to create pleasures. The young eagle king declares that all birds should sing the same. A blackbird explains that he does that mostly because he cannot sing! The traveler from the desert rejoices to find water but criticizes the spring when the water turns out to come from salt deposits. The local nymph answers that he should curse his discontent, not the spring. The book is in good condition.
