Abstract

en_US This little book intersperses ten fables with its ten Märchen. The special appeal of the book for me lies in its full-page colored illustrations (9, 17, 24, 36, 48, and especially 61). The colored designs on both covers are also well done. Unfortunately, none of these -- or of the smaller black-and-white designs -- are for the fables. Most of the fables here are old chestnuts: FS, FC, FG, BC, LM, The Lion and the Ass, and The Monkey and the Chess Game. The Ass and the Wolf is surprising (38). The latter is hungry. The former says Have pity on me. I have a thorn in my foot. The wolf answers I feel truly sorry for you. My conscience forces me to free you from this pain. With that, he tears the ass apart. When the wolf extends his condolences to the shepherd who has lost sheep to a drought, the dog mentions that the wolf has great sympathy when he himself suffers from his neighbor's loss (46). In The Cuckoo (58), the cuckoo asks a starling what people say about various birds. When the starling volunteers nothing about the cuckoo, the latter asks what they say about him. I do not know. Then I will avenge their thanklessness by forever talking about myself. This book is hard to date. It refers to a 1946 regulation. I am surprised to see East Germany producing a children's book of this quality soon after the war.
