The Sick Lion
(The Wright Group, 1990)
Another nicely conceived work by Biro. Sixteen pages. This -- #16 -- is the only copy I have from the latest series, 13-18. The tired lion here wears a sport jacket, vest, and tie. Deciding to look sick, he puts on ...
Aesop's Fables
(The Hyperion Press, 1944)
A fine book. I am surprised that I have never seen it before. Seventy-eight fables, enhanced by twenty-four full-color and many black-and-white illustrations, somewhat after the fashion of Fritz Kredel. The best of the ...
Aesop's Fables: The King Bruce and the Spider and other stories
(Dreamland Publications, 1997)
This is an 8½ x 11 presentation of seven fables. The King Bruce and the Spider is new to me. Taking an example from a spider that has fallen sixteen times but succeeds on the seventeenth try, Robert Bruce tries and tries ...
Aesop's Fables: The Horse and the Donkey and other stories
(Dreamland Publications, 1997)
This is an 8½ x 11 presentation of seven fables. The Horse and the Donkey does not involve the loading onto the horse's back of either the dead donkey or his skin. Only his burdens are transferred. GA has for a moral: ...

Aesop's Fables: The Shepherd with the Flute and other stories
(Dreamland Publications, 1997)
This is an 8½ x 11 presentation of five fables. The Shepherd with the Flute develops the basic story by making the girl Rani rightly suspicious of the boy Raja's work ethic. His flute has charmed other animals, but only ...
Aesop's Fables: The Fox and the Cock and other stories
(Dreamland Publications, 1997)
This is an 8½ x 11 presentation of three fables. The Fox and the Cock is the Chanticleer story slightly adapted to, apparently, an Asian setting. In The Owl and the Eagle's Daughter the owl asks the crow to contact the ...
Aesop's Fables: The Country Mouse and the Town Mouse and other stories
(Dreamland Publications, 1997)
This is an 8½ x 11 presentation of three fables. In TMCM, the country mouse lives with a wife and family. The ninth paragraph has several awkward repetitions, and a later turn of the page creates this error: With a sweep ...
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 ...
