Abstract
Though I had this copy first, it is a later printing of a work whose first printing I received six years later. That earlier printing is listed under 1990. I find no change in the booklet except in the outside covers and the bibliographic data. The publishing house seems to have moved to Leipzig in the intermediate time. The series has taken on a new name: Blaue Reihe. The covers have taken on some orange color. In the meantime, I have seen two other German-language series using Phaedrus. They both dig in deeper and presumably take longer than this series. They may be meant for older students, while this is for younger students. See also the Lehrerheft for this student book, listed under 1990. I will repeat here the comments I made when I first encountered the booklet. Here is an excellent piece of work! Eleven fables and a prolog are presented in the body of this pamphlet, with five more fables in an appendix. Two at least (FC and WL) include among their materials later developments by LaFontaine and Lessing. Various approaches to the fables work on contrasts and poetic compositional techniques. Good simple illustrations along the way allow the student to work, even before analyzing language, from a concrete picture. Phaedrus' Latin seems to be slightly simplified. I wish we had something like this in English!
