- Abstract
- This impressive book presents over fifty fables. About half are from Aesop. The other half favors Thurber and German authors. The covers present a scene that is distinctly contemporary. A crow bartender shakes a martini shaker. Mice, a toad, and an unidentified animal sit at the bar. A chipmunk or squirrel bartender rounds out the scene. The colored illustrations accompanying most fables are strong. Perhaps one of the best is "Die Hasen und die Frösche" (24). GA (40) is also well done, as is TMCM (43-44). The art for texts on one page regularly spill over onto the space of the facing page, as on 54-55. The illustration for Kafka's "Kleine Fabel" on 64-65 is another excellent piece! It turns out that the cover picture is for Thurber's "The Truth about Toads" (72-76). Reiner Kunze's "Das Ende der Fabeln" (84) is the perfect way to end this lovely book. The cock starts twice to create a fable but realizes that the fable will offend either the fox or the farmer. He starts a third time, but…. He looks left, he looks right. Now there is not another fable!
