Abstract

en_US There are twenty-five fables here, with texts in Swedish rhymed verse never over one page in length. Thus each fable gets a two-page spread with the text on the left and a full-page black-and-white drawing on the right. In fact Östergren contributes three elements to each fable: an initial, a little symbol, and a full-page drawing. I like the latter, but I hesitate on some that may tend toward the merely sentimental and cute. More of them are strong, clever, and filled with humor. The animals are routinely clothed. Among the best of the illustrations are: 2P (11); FM (15); GA (with great faces, 17); The Rat and the Elephant (33); The Lion and the Mosquito (41); The Hare and the Frogs (45); and DW (49). Do not miss the great Dr. Stork on 7! There is even an Efterskrift (54). There is just enough German and English resonance in the language here, as in this word, to give good hints.
