Abstract
This little book, about 3 x 4, gives good testimony to the proximity of fable and joke. It is one of those little books that appear on counters of bookstores and used book shops. And so it appeared at Quadrat on my first afternoon in Mannheim on this trip. An illustration of a crow from Speckter/Hey is on the cover. As the T of C on 137-40 shows, there is a lovely mixture here of anecdote, joke, and fable. Illustrations are few; they include old woodcuts (e.g., 12) and simple designs (e.g., 62). There are also several advertisements for Bisolvomycin (e.g., 56), which claims to help people's breathing. Offerings range from Busch to Brecht, with Pfeffel, Gellert, and Rilke appearing along the way. Lessing's Der Tanzbär (35) is an example of a strong traditional fable. One Euro can still buy something worthwhile!
