Hundert Fabeln für Kinder

Abstract

This is a stripped-down edition of the Hey/Speckter tradition. Hey is not mentioned. After a simple title-page, a single page lists all one hundred fables in two columns. Rabe then begins on 1, and Kalb und Hund finishes on 100. The texts seem to be the standard Hey texts throughout. The illustrations seem identical with those in the 1920? Insel edition. Thus the crow of the first fable looks right but the image has a less extensive background than that found, e.g., in the Perthes Schul-Ausgabe under 1845?. The snowman on 3 stands up straight and is attacked by three children, but he has less of a scowl and more of a belt than the snowman in that Perthes edition. The script is Roman throughout. The book has marbled covers with a canvas binding. The paper is quite brittle. Not in Bodemann.
