Abstract

en_US Here is a great cat-and-mouse book! The literary form of the title comes from German newspaper want ads. The book has a playful cast to it from the start, and that cast comes to strong expression in Natus-Salamoun's colored art work, including the the dancing cat on the cover and that same dancing cat with a walking mouse on the endpapers. Among the collected works here, fables tend to be most concentrated at the book's beginning. The good selection starts with Aesop's LM; Stricker's Fuchs und Katze; Pauli's Die Katze, die Man mit einem Orden Schmückte; Kirchhof's Die Katze in der Speisekammer; de La Fontaine's TMCM; Lichtwer's Die Katzen und der Hausherr and two other fables; and Lessing's Die Maus. This last fable is delightful and seems new to me. A mouse who worried about cats making mice extinct consoled herself that bats, who are mice, can breed new mice. She was unaware that there are also winged cats! Our pride usually is based on our ignorance. The list goes on and includes people like Wilhelm Busch and Leo Tolstoy. The stories get longer as the volume goes on. The T of C on 117-119 gives sources. This book is fun!
