Abstract

en_US This is one of several books I saw for sale in Germany, but my suitcases were already too full, and so I waited and ordered them here in the USA as soon as I got back. This book surprises. It seems another in the long list of standard children's fable books, but on examination both the texts and the illustrations are exceptional. The well chosen texts represent a wide variety of sources. One or two texts may not be fables. There are over one hundred well told stories here. The full-page colored illustrations in this large-format book are engaging. Those particularly well done include LM (21); Warum Hund und Katze Feinde sind (35); Der Wolf als Schäfer (58); and DW (79). A special treat comes in the two-page spreads of illustration, e.g., for The Blue Jackal (82-83) and The Fox and the Lion (136-37). I did not know The Flying Fox (142); do not miss the great illustration! The cover illustration shows the bear reading to the fox and crow, while the goose and rabbit look on from a little more distance. I am glad to have found this very nice book!
