Abstract

en_US Over 200 texts, pillowed covers with a colorful illustration of FC on the front, and a bookmark set this off as a book for families to enjoy with their children. I learned here that in Hans Sachs' version of GA the grasshopper claims to have been useful in the summer by singing people to sleep. The ant answers that the grasshopper should go ask for food from the people she has sung into sleep! The curious moral is "Who does not collect in youth must go without in old age" (17). Other texts that are new to me include "The Frogs' Competition" (13); "Die Rangierlokomotive und der Prellbock" (50); and "Diplomatic Advice" (68). Fables are sometimes brought together to utilize their images together, as happens on 26-27 where a fable about a fox on the left is balanced by a fable about a fox and geese on the right. The fox image on the left serves for both fables and balances nicely the image of geese on the right. Images occur every few pages. Good ones near the beginning of the book include FS (28) and "The Monkey and Spectacles" (49). Most featured authors are Aesop, Leonardo, La Fontaine, and Lessing. There is a truly international spread of stories. Kipling sets a record for his story that goes from 108 to 113 on rather full pages: "The Elephant's Child." This is the sort of book I would love to work through over a number of days!
