The Donkey in the Lion's Skin
(The Wright Group, 1986)
Number 3 in the series. Here is a quirky eBay find. I had found one other book in this set, which now includes not twelve but rather eighteen members. Biro's work is always lively, and this eight-page presentation of ...
Aesop's Fables Translated and with Full Notes
(Commercial Press, LimitedShang wu yin shu guan, 1921)
Here is a softbound reader with lots of explanations right after each paragraph -- and even each sentence -- of a fable. There are 126 fables on 326 pages. The whole book is deteriorating. There is a T of C at the ...
Aesop's Fables
(Haldeman-Julius Company, 1935)
I list this booklet separately from my other copy of Haldeman-Julius #44. For starters, its cover has changed. The title there was Aesop's Fables for Children and now it is simply Aesop's Fables. Inside the title was ...
Aesop's Fables
(Haldeman-Julius CompanyLittle-Blue-Books, 1935)
I make yet another listing for this form of Haldeman-Julius' Aesop's Fables because it differs slightly from the Hoyt and Carlson copies listed under the same title and year. The series name has shifted particularly on ...
Aesop's Fables (down to up spine)
(McLoughlin Brothers, 1900)
This book is the same as that listed under the same title and year except that it prints McLoughlin Bros., New York on its cover, presents a leaf-pattern on its end papers, and has the title on the spine read from the ...
Aesop's Fables
(McLoughlin Brothers, 1900)
The colored frontispiece is, as the appraiser noted, what makes this book: it is lovely. This version of the book does not print McLoughlin Bros., New York on the cover, and the title on the spine reads from top to ...
Aesop's Fables
(Thomas Y. Crowell, 1921)
Apparently the American version of the British Coker edition (1921/33). Check my notes there. This edition adds two illustrations: TH (22) and FS (84). The pictures are done here on better, thicker paper; their colors ...
Aesop's Fables
(Pavilion Books, 1992)
A very pleasing book available from this publisher only in the United Kingdom. See the adjacent listing for the first U.S. edition. Salter was born in Cairo, and her art here is in a primitive style after that of Persian ...
Pop-Up Fable Fun
(London: Chatto and Windus. Los Angeles: Intervisual Communications, 1978)
A new combination for me: a pop-up with picture-changing (not 3-D) glasses, unfortunately not present with this book. The boy crying Wolf! and the woodchopper needing an axe-handle are cleverly put into the same pop-up ...
The greedy fox and other stories by Aesop
(HMSO], 1993)
This is a pleasant 20-page pamphlet 7½ x 8¼ containing three fables and a short life of Aesop including GGE and FK. The title-story puts the fox into a hollow tree trunk. There is a graphic illustration of the greedy fox ...
