Abstract

en_US Twelve traditional fables are listed on the back cover of this large-format hardbound book for children. The fables are told, says an early note, following old sources like Aesop, La Fontaine, Lessing, and others. In each of the twelve cases, a prose text on the left page faces a full-page colored illustration on the right. Each of the rather standard illustrations includes the n. pl. signature. The stork standing over the wolf to remove the bone has a cap and pouch of the Red Cross. In other collections, one seldom finds the good Lessing fable Der Elefant un der Mops. A little dog barks vehemently at a circus elephant, who pays him no heed. An older dog tells the little dog that the elephant is not paying him the least attention. That is exactly why I do it, the little dog answers. I know that I can get away with it, and everyone will say that I heroically barked at and stood my ground against an elephant! To emphasize the fox's exasperation in the FG illustration, Plump puts in a bird who flies away with a grape in its mouth. If I knew Das Schwein und der Esel, I had forgotten it. A pig cries desperately and tells an inquiring ass that people use his name terribly and only in negative situations. The ass answers consoling the pig that that really is a Schweinerei!
