Abstract
Here is a large, deteriorating book of German fables done not too long after World War II. As the beginning T of C shows, the fables are organized by subjects. Thus the Tierfabeln, after 54 pages of Reineke Fuchs, move to some eleven fables on lions, add then fifteen on the fox, and move on thus through five more animal groups. There are then three other major categories: plants; nature and humans; and wise people and fools. The illustrations occur especially to mark the beginnings of sections. This book looks a bit as though it had gone through a war itself! Its cardboard covers have done well to hold out as long as they have. I take it that the book gives us a sense of East German productivity soon after the war. Inscribed at Christmas, 1949.
