Abstract
This book is uniform in series with several others I have but they seem to have different bibliographical data, including publisher: Alfo Kunstdruck Verlag in Kaiserslautern. This book has the same canvas binding and the same striped cover format with a picture at the center. Like them, it has 32 pages. There is a beginning T of C with titles for the fourteen fables. Sources are given on the book's last page. The color work for the fables here is simple and pleasing. Each fable's text is on the left-hand page with a colored illustration on the right-hand page. Above and below the colored illustration are engaging and even humorous sketches of different phases of the fable. Familiar to me among these engaging tales are Der kranke Löwe (12); Der stolze Schmetterling (18); and Der Hahn (22). The illustration for the latter is typically well done: the rooster teaches the jackal to pray. When the former gets the latter to shut his eyes, he flies away. Der Waldwolf und der Steppenwolf (28) is an American Indian tale describing how the wolf and dog parted ways as enemy and friend of human beings.
