Synopsis
The Comical Creatures From Würtemberg: Including The Story Of Reynard The Fox ; With Twenty Illustrations, Drawn From The Stuffed Animals Contributed By Herrmann Ploucquet Of Stuttgart To The Great Exhibition by Edward Dalziel. This 1851 collection assembles a sequence of humorous animal tales and fables framed as popular entertainments for Victorian readers and museum visitors. Interwoven among the main Reynard narrative are stand-alone pieces such as The Weasels Of Holm-Wood, The Dormice, The Six Kittens, and The Frogs Who Would A-Wooing Go, each illustrated with plates drawn from Ploucquet’s stuffed specimens. The tales blend domestic whimsy with cautionary satire, exploring themes of love, ambition, cruelty, loyalty, and social cunning through anthropomorphic characters. The Preface situates the work in the Great Exhibition era’s fascination with natural history, art, and illustration, while the chessboard-like court intrigues of Reynard expose moral lessons about deceit and justice. The volume is designed for young readers and general audiences alike. It also includes lively vignettes and moral parables in accessible prose, complemented by twenty illustrations that align with the playful yet instructive tone.
