Abstract

en_US I fell in love with this book in my delightful hours back at the Dresdener Antiquariat, but I wondered if I could find a way to justify taking it along. I felt very lucky when I reached 64 and found a page of Fabeln. Each of these fifteen one-picture vignettes is a single rhyming couplet, often a conversation between two characters. The kakadu says Listen to me, but as soon as the nightingale starts to sing, everyone listens to her. The swan says Mythology speaks of my song, and the nightingale answers But I sing in reality. A mouse gets into a granary and says This is my territory, but a cat answers that he is the master in this house. The fox is just declaring that the stronger is the master as he lays hold of a rabbit -- and is shot by a hunter. The combination of text and illustration in these Bilderbogen is delightful. A look across the page from the fables (65) shows some fine illustrations. My prize goes to the bee near the farmer's nose. The title-story (29) is a good example of the book's fun. The Meier Family wins the lottery and has ideas what to do and especially where to go. Mother-in-law carries the day by deciding that they will go to Egypt. A krokodil falls in love with her. When she runs, he tells her to stand still or he will have to use force. She does not, and he does. Love conquers. Such a fat mother-in-law, he declares, is a delicacy. The book's colophon does not indicate when the first edition may have come out.
