This is the 1965 Turkish edition of The Wren and the Bear (Uğurlu Misafir) by the Brothers Grimm, published by İyigün Yayınevi. The story centers on a bear who hears the beautiful song of a tiny wren and becomes fascinated by the bird, believing it to be the king of all birds. The tale humorously explores the contrast between appearances and reality, as well as the bear's curiosity and the wren's surprising cleverness.
The book also contains another Grimm Brothers fairy tale, Snow-White and Rose-Red (Pembegül ile Koncagül). This beloved story follows two sisters who live with their mother and befriend a bear who visits their home during winter. The bear later turns out to be an enchanted prince, while the sisters' kindness and courage lead to a happy ending.
