Abstract
-
en_US
This book has a strong sense of itself, starting from the leather spine and the embossed cover displaying a peacock. Crusius offers a sixty-three page introduction on the history of the fable. Babrius, Phaedrus, Avianus, and Romulus represent the ancient world. A rich sampling of German fables starts with Der Alte Spervogel about 1150 and moves up through Boner, Waldis, Luther, Sachs, and Alberus. Leonardo and La Fontaine are included, as are Iriarte, Kyrlov, and Andersen. Kleukens even includes two fables of his own (198). At the end one finds sections on Volksfabeln, and fables of Asiatic, African, and North American peoples, respectively. The only interior art is on the title page, which includes vignettes of several animals and birds. The texts, both prose and verse, are in Gothic script.
