Abstract
-
en_US
This is a well-worn pamphlet of 38 pages. There are many uncut pages here. Well-preserved partial-page black-and-white illustrations. Many of the fables here are in verse, and many are new to me. There may have been a further cover, as on the copy on Google Books, showing a family on a hill watching several birds. The cover here offers an intriguing image of a human rowing a small boat for a wolf pilgrim. That fable, "Der Wolf und der Schiffer," with its illustration begins on 57. The wolf asks for a free ride in return for three words of wisdom. "Do what you can." "Do not believe a liar." "The person who helps a scoundrel should not expect a reward." The Library of Congress attributes this illustration to Ludwig Richter. A quick search on the web could not find an author for this rhyming verse fable. None of the fables is attributed to an author. And one looks in vain for something like a T of C or AI. Wigand published "Neue Fabeln" by K.F.W. Wander, with illustrations by Richter, in 1846 (Bodemann #310). Might this be a later form of the same?
