Abstract
The curiosities surrounding this book keep coming. Apparently editions were published in both East and West Germany. Then the West German edition was picked up by the Gutenberg Book Guild in Frankfurt. This book replicates then the West German edition -- from Rowohlt in Hamburg -- with its translations by Rolf Mayr; it lacks the additional 42 fables without colored illustrations found in the East German edition. The printing here, as is appropriate for a book guild edition, may be more careful than in the Rowohlt edition in Hamburg. Every other page is a full-page, unbacked, unpaginated color-illustration. Effel's illustrations are always a delight. See my remarks on the East German edition. I have not checked Rolf Mayr's verse. My, what one finds when one looks under a rock! The colophon on the obverse of the title page recognizes Rowohlt Verlag in Hamburg.
