Abstract
This book is the German reproduction of the Russian Terem-Teremok of 1974 from Progress Publishers in Moscow. It duplicates the work in German, down to the page numbers. It has the same delightful cover embossed in brown, blue, and gold. The bird pictured there is the thrush who plays a key role in Hähnchen Goldkämmchen (62). Like that book, this is a treasure. Like its model, this book contains twenty stories. The obverse of the title-page rightly sees these stories as Märchen. As I mentioned in my comment on Terem-Teremok, much of Rachev's art consists in putting the defined (particularly black lines) and the undefined (generally color masses) together in an unique way, as on 113. There is a water stain around the bottom of the spine. The title of the book comes from Leo Tolstoy's Kater Graustirn, der Hammel und der Ziegenbock, that is, Gray-Forehead the Cat, the Ram, and the Goat (138). The clever cat saves the goat and ram from a pack of wolves. This is a sturdy, well produced book.
