Abstract

en_US
The first story here, Die Fiedelgrille und der Maulwurf, seems identical with Die Grille und der Maulwurf, a 1979 mini-book done by Beltz Verlag. It is a delightful replaying of the Aesopic story. Again, I doubted whether this book presented fables, but I took a chance on buying it and examining it more closely, and I am glad I did! Does Janosch change the title of the main character -- from Grille to Fiedelgrille -- for a reason? In any case, the grasshopper goes to two ugly characters, the Hirschkaefer and the Maus before the mole delights in taking her in to his warm little home. In fact, she does not even have to ask. He is eager for her to make music. They end up in bed together and enjoy this winter as the loveliest time of their lives. The second story, Der alte Mann und der Bär, is no fable. It is a romantic story of a man and a bear who care for birds. It is not clear to me what happens to the man, but an angel takes the exhausted bear to the stars. The inside front cover proclaims that this is a genehmigte Sonderausgabe. It does not seem to be part of a Janosch series of Aesopic fables, which I would welcome!
