Die Tiermärchen aus diesem Hörbuch stammen aus Deutschland, der Türkei, Russland, dem Vorderen Orient, China, Vietnam und Japan. Die Märchen predigen keine Moral, sie erzählen farbig und anschaulich und oft fröhlich vom Zusammenleben der Menschen und Tiere. Die Märchen wurden meist im Kreis der Erwachsenen erzählt. Kinder konnten zuhören, wie sie auch heute oft bis spät in die Nacht bei Festivitäten dabei sind und manchmal auf ihren Stühlen einschlafen. Durch diese Tiermärchen gewinnen wir einen erstaunlichen Einblick in die Denkweisen und Seelen der beschriebenen Völker.
