- Abstract
- en_US My first find on this trip to Heidelberg, and a wonderful one it is! I actually got this book cheaper than I got the paperback copy (1992). The translation is, as the dust jacket proclaims, ein wenig frech wirkend. It is well rhymed. It transposes the setting of FG to Bavaria or Hessen, for example. The color work of the illustrations is outstanding! And there is humor everywhere in the illustrations, starting with the grasshopper-baby's pacifier in GA (6). Other clever moments include the lion boss at his desk (16: he is in a GmbH with the other three animals); torn-up photos of the two women (2W, 27); the boy hanging onto branches in a rushing river (30); the uprooted, personified oak with a rootlike penis (35); the clever king frog, who half becomes a log (45); the supposedly dead-drunk man (46); and the fox who has urinated on a human bust (59). I have never seen mice-commanders so wonderfully decked out (61)! Less Is More! makes a great graffito-slogan for FWT (69). It would be easy to go on citing one great illustration after another. One of the best contemporary sets of illustrations I know.
