Abstract

en_US I am including a second copy of this book because I have found a copy dedicated by the artist. The other copy, #455 of 500, is identical and has Gothein's signature with the number at the book's end. This copy, #285 of 500, has the same signature but it also has this on the page between the endpaper and the title-page: Der lieben und treuen Freundin Marie Gutzeit zum fünzigjährigen Festchen unserer Freundschaft von Ihrem Werner Gothein, Weihnachten, 1954. Let me include comments from the first copy I had found. I am surprised that I had not known of this book earlier. It presents thirty Aesopic fables in prose, each on a left-hand numbered page with a design on the facing right page. The pages are made of very heavy paper. The best of the designs have, like the front cover's design, a strong sense of line. My favorites include FG (3); Das verliebte Wiesel (8); The Man and His Two Girlfriends (18); Unbekehrbar (25). Gothein's retellings are good. The dying father says to his sons What I have inherited you will find in my vineyard (11).
