Abstract
The fun in this edition of Renard starts with the cover, which portrays a frecher Kerl if I ever saw one! The book's first page is unusual and makes me think that the book may have been conceived as a gift, perhaps of the publishing house. It gives some history of the Renard story and sums up the story's point: Stärker als Dummheit und Gewalt ist der Geist. The last lines on the page give the sort of information that is usually centered and not narrated: Diese alte Geschichte von Reineke Fuchs wird uns von Werner Jaspert neu erzählt. Cefischer malte die Bilder dazu and verlegt wird dieses Buch vom H. Cobet Verlag, Frankfurt A.M. In the sixth chapter, the queen's nonkey-maid reminds the king and queen of one of their good experiences of Reynard, which follows the plot line of an Aesopic fable. A man freed a snake upon promise that the snake would not harm him. When the snake got hungry, he turned on the man. Reynard's solution was to go back to the original scene and to get the players into their original positions. Three fables are related and two illustrated in the seventh chapter. Reynard is flattering the lion queen by telling her of the treasured gifts he supposedly sent her with Bellin, among which was a mirror with delightful illustrations. The mirror's illustrations include The Donkey and the Dog (illustrated on 31), The Fox and the Cat, and WC (illustrated on 32). In the ninth chapter, Isegrim tells the frozen tail story to suggest to the king how evil Reynard is. He goes on to the pulley in the well story, wherein Reynard entices the wolf down the well to find the great cheese supposedly there. The illustrations here seem to combine black and maroon in various shades.
