Fabeln von Gotthold Ephraim Lessing
(Volksverband der Bücherfreunde: Wegweiser-Verlag, 1927)

Äsop Phädrus Babrios Lessing Fabeln
(Verlag Münstermann-Druck, 1966)
"Here is an extra copy of this book. I am delighted to have found this little book, since it was produced in a limited production of only 3000 copies. Might it have been printed as a gift of the firm for its friends? A ...
Fabeln von August Strindberg
(Insel-Verlag, 1930)

The Style of La Fontaine's Fables
(Basil Blackwell, 1966)
Here is an extra copy of this book. This is, in one respect, a strange book. It is on the one hand immensely helpful to someone like me. It will be a rich resource on any number of stylistic questions about La Fontaine's ...

(Maximilian-Gesellschaft; Wolfgang Metzner Verlag, 1998)

(Veseika, 1989)
Here is the first of two extra copies of this booklet. This is one of the better Krylov presentations I have seen, particularly because of the colored illustrations. These begin with the fine Quartet on the cover, continue ...
