Fiabe di La Fontaine
(Editrice AMZ, 1960)
This book largely reproduces, in both verbatim texts and exactly the same illustrations, Favole di animali: Fiabe di la Fontaine, Fedro e Esopo by the same publisher, which I have listed under 1960/80. See my comments ...
Aesop's Fables. An Anthology of the Fabulists of All Countries. Dutton spine
(London: J.M. Dent/NY: E.P. Dutton, 1913)
The format of this book's cover is different from the three copies I have of the first printing. Like them, it has no printing date on the back of the title-page. All later printings seem to have such. It shares with ...
Folk-Lore and Fable: Aesop, Grimm, Anderson.
(P. F. Collier & Son Company, 1909)
An unspectacular selection of Joseph Jacobs' Aesopic fables claims the first 35 pages or so of this collection. It is, as far as I can see, valuable only as testimony to Aesop's popularity. No illustrations. T of C at ...
Aesop's Fables, Including Fables by Gay, La Fontaine, and Others
(Ward Lock and Company Limited, 1962)
This book seems to reproduce exactly The Book of Fables, published by Frederick Warne in New York in 1962; my copy is dated 1963. This volume from Ward Lock changes the title from The Book of Fables to Aesop's Fables, ...
[Thai] [lion/mouse cameo on cover]
(ʻAmnūaisān, 1980?)
Two fables are illustrated with eight pages of simple green monochrome each at the beginning: Talkative Turtle and Frogs Desiring a King. Then lots of stories without English or illustrations. T of C at the beginning.
Favole di animali: Fiabe di la Fontaine, Fedro e Esopo.
(AMZ Editrice, 1960)
Colorful and often useful pictures. I like the one of the ant giving hell to the grasshopper. Good faces too on the fox with and moving away from the grapes. Style is simple but colorful, and the cut of the pictures ...
Folk-Lore and Fable: Aesop, Grimm, Anderson.
(F.P. Collier & Son Corporation, 1909)
This volume, in very good condition, has elements of both my 1909 and my 1909/37/69 editions. With the latter it shares pagination and frontispiece but not the fancy binding. With the former it shares the notation that ...
Aesop's Fables.
(London: J.M. Dent/NY: E.P. Dutton, 1913)
I am delighted at last to get an early Everyman edition. Compare this edition with that of 1913/42. There are surprising little changes, though the body of the introduction, the fables presented, and their pagination ...
Eric Carle's Treasury of Classic Stories for Children.
(Scholastic, 1988)
As far as I can tell, there is nothing new here in fables; Carle is drawing on his 1980 Twelve Tales from Aesop. The one story from there that is dropped here is The Birds, the Beasts and the Bat. I liked Carle's work ...
Fables: Aesop and Others
(London: J.M. Dent/NY: E.P. Dutton, 1913)
A packed little volume, with eighteen chapters divided by author. No illustrations. Good modern versions of people like Caxton. This book has been very helpful in preparation of the course on fables this past semester. ...
