De Mück un de Lööv: Fabeln

Abstract

Both of sets of endpapers offer a seventy-word lexicon of Plattdeutsch. Otherwise this book is serious about offering fables. The last three pages of this 120-page volume are an afterword by Thomsen. The rest of the book offers straight fables without illustration. The back page speaks of the bildhaften plattdeutschen Sprache des Bauern und Schriftstellers Johann Wilhelm Thomsen. I could not find Thomsen on the web. This statement makes it seem as though he wrote some time ago. Reading one of these fables is not hard if it is a well-known story. The sounds are off by one turn. Unfortunately, there is no T of C in the book.
