- Abstract
- en_US There are 141 pages here of fables divided by subject into twenty-nine categories. Each chapter receives from two pages for the cat to fourteen pages for the wolf. Those twenty-nine chapters appear in an opening T of C. At the close of the book there is a listing of individual fables by author. There are some thirty-seven authors. The only non-Germans I notice are Aesop and La Fontaine. Most strongly represented are Aesop, Gellert, Gleim, Hey, La Fontaine, Lessing, and Sturm. Lessing has the most fables of all here. I do not think that I had before noticed Lessing's fable of the ass and the fox. Tell me an animal I cannot imitate demanded the ape. The fox answered: Tell me one that would imitate you! The illustrations seem rather predictable. One of the best may be Der grüne Esel (83), but it is hard to make the point here with a black-and-white illustration! Like so much German work for children, this book is well thought through and well executed.
