About This Item
1857 Reynard the Fox by Goethe Reineke Fuchs Fable German Fairy Tale Illustrated
Reynard the Fox has been a stable of fairy tale lore for centuries, with many countries, such as German, France, and other Low Countries, claiming the honor of his 'birth-place.' Told as a 'brute-epic', this tale of cunning mischief was finally written and printed during the late 15th- and early 16th-centuries. In fact, some scholars believe the origins of Reynard to have come from the 9th-century!
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe was a famous German author who is best known for his novels and epic poems such as 'Sorrows of Young Werther' and 'Faust'. One of his less-popular works, curiously, was his edition of the famous fable 'Reynard the Fox'.
