Abstract
I am trying out a new policy with this and another recent purchase. When I find a better copy of a book already in the collection, I will simply add it. Here is a better copy of the book already found in the Dresdener Antiquariat in August of 2006 for €35. This copy is in better condition throughout. I will include comments from that copy. The final page shows that this book was published under license of the American Military Government. It also lists the thirty-one fables and their creators. Hey has four, and Gellert and Zacharia have two each. The author creates six himself, following each time on texts of others, like Aesop or Lessing. Each left-hand page has a text, and each right-hand page the corresponding full-page black-and-white drawing. I like Heinrich Seidel's "Der Zeisig" (14), Matthias Claudius' "Der Esel" (16), Christian Fürchtegott Gellert's "Die Junge Ente" (26), and Gottfried Lichtwer's "Der Affe und die Uhr" (40). The book is 7½" x 10" and has a grouping of various animals in white-on-black on its front cover. It is canvas-bound.
