Description

1960? 5 Fabeln für unsere Zeit (Nach James Thurber). Aus dem Englischen übertragen von Marlies Müller. Illustriert von Felix Müller. Loose in a portfolio. Bremen: Otto Behrens. €16 from Versandantiquariat Kerstin Daras, Düsseldorf, July, '18.

"Druck für den Freundeskreis der Bremer Kunstschiule." This is a folio of five 8¼" x 11¾" singlefolds. Each has a title on the front page, a text on the left-hand page, and a full-page print on the right-hand page. The illustrations are striking. Sometimes the German has to bend a little to try to meet Thurber. Thurber's owl story is particularly challenging. Two moles tried to slip quietly by, unnoticed. "You!" said the owl. "Who?" they responded. "You two" came the answer. The German resorts to the clever "You and you." The crazy questions that are soon asked of this divine figure change to equally crazy questions in German. I will also list this work among prints, with visuals for each piece. Do not miss the clever "5" on the cover. The two copies available on the web have no more idea than I do when this lovely piece was produced.-
