Abstract

en_US One can recognize this book because the Aesopic figure with a cane on the cover looks a good deal like Marty Feldman, the actor in Young Frankenstein. The large eye of this character will return on many figures in the book. Twenty-eight fables are handled in uniform fashion, with text on the left-hand page and a large illustration on the right-hand page. There is a T of C at the back. The young lamb believes the wolf's claim that he likes to eat grass (6). Wehrling's art has fun with the fables, as in the illustration of LM (9), in which the mouse may actually be tickling the lion's huge paw. SW, well told, is also well illustrated: the sun shines down on a jacket cast aside (19). The jewel-problem is well illustrated in GGE as the cock has a huge bulge in his long neck (31). Do not miss the angry crane with a bone in his bill and a wolf walking away in the distance (37). DS presents a curious image (45): the dog is floating on a log. He has no meat in his mouth, but there seem to be two pieces of meat in the water…. The illustration for TMCM (47) shows a scene not mentioned in the story: the country mouse laughs as the city mouse is frightened by a rooster. FG's picture (51) suggests that the fox declares the grapes overripe (Verdorben). In the narrative he grumbles These sour grapes are not good food for me. The moral recommends that we console ourselves by believing that what we cannot reach is not worth it. The boy cries Wolf! only once in jest; the second cry is for real (50).
