About this book
Goethe's story begins on the morning of a great fair in the prince's town, as huntsmen, dogs and horses gather in the fog outside the castle. The prince rides out to the chase and leaves his young wife at home in the care of her Uncle Frederick and the trusty Honorio. The tiger of the title belongs to the animals shown at the fair. The German original, a novella from late in his life, dates from 1828; this English text is numbered 1458 in the Little Blue Book series.
