- Abstract
- en_US What a wonderful gift! This book is a library in itself. I have kept separate notes on the sampling of fables I enjoyed in going through the book and on its good illustrations. Parable does not get the representation one might expect from the title; a few items are included that are labelled as parables. The translations wisely follow the original's choice of prose or verse. The heart of this book is, appropriately, German fable: 274 pages from fifty-three fabulists. The ancients get fifty-seven pages before the Germans, and five other literatures and two continents get seventy-two pages after them. Fables labelled Aesop here do not always have the texts which one would find in, say, Perry's Aesopica. I am not sure of Etzel's source for them.
