Abstract
-
en_US
Here is an unusual book of 46 pages. It combines religious and admonitory poetry with fables. Apparently Kretschmar had recently published an illustrated volume in French of German poems and fables that speak to infancy or youth. Charlier here sets out to create such a volume of French texts. Charlier believes that Germany supplies many more such texts suitable for young people. There are fables here, like Florian's "Le Chien et le Chat" and La Fontaine's "Le Renard, le Loup, et le Cheval." Did Charlier take the Kirchoff illustrations used in that volume translated from German? Fable images include "Stallion and Wasp" (11); "Peacock and Hen" (13); OF (27); and many others. One of the best illustrations comes on 21. A young lamb puts on his master's wolfskin, wanting to scare other sheep. Immediately the shepherd's dog comes up and, taking him for a wolf, bites him painfully on the ear. The shepherd has to save this sheep. Lying, even in play, is a bad idea. This fable gives a good sense of the tenor of this book: highly admonitory. 5¾" x 8¼".
