The Miller, the Boy and the Donkey
(Oxford University Press, 1969)
See my comment on the hardback copy.
La Liebre y las Ranas
(Melhoramentos de São Paolo, 1988)
Twelve stiff pages offer a version in general contact with LaFontaine's story. This version greatly reduces the hare's self-reflection. The inciting incident is also not a sound but the rabbit's seeing himself in the ...
La Liebre y la Tortuga
(MelbooksMelhoramentos de São Paolo, 1988)
Twelve stiff pages offer considerable elaboration of LaFontaine's story. We hear of a monkey, armadillo, and jaguar before the race is ever mentioned. I have one other, La Liebre y las Ranas (1988), in the set of eight.
Dame Cigale et Dame Fourmi
(Kenworthy Educational Service, 1970)
Very pleasant little sideways pamphlet. The series' purpose is to learn by having fun. The presentation and version both help to that end. The figures are lively. The best may be 14's image of the cricket washing clothes ...
The Miller, the Boy and the Donkey
(Oxford University Press, 1969)
This 1984 printing has changed from the original book in 1969. The cover material and layout have changed. The paper quality has improved. The printing site has changed from Austria to Hong Kong. Let me repeat my ...
The Lion and the Rat: A Fable by La Fontaine.
(Oxford University Press, 1963)
This big book is an excellent format for Wildsmith's large and colorful work. There are several good illustrations--of the lion hunting and of the animals rushing to see--but I do not find the quality of the art sustained. ...
The North Wind and the Sun: A Fable by La Fontaine.
(Oxford University Press, 1964)
Even the paperback is a beautiful book in this case! See my comments on the original hardbound edition under 1964.
The Rich Man and the Shoe-maker: A Fable by La Fontaine.
(Franklin Watts, 1966)
See the original publication of this book by Oxford University Press in 1965 and my comments there. These copies belonged to a library and received extensive use. Some pages have been torn and wrinkled. I will keep both ...
The Rich Man and the Shoe-maker: A Fable by La Fontaine
(Oxford Univ. Pr.Oxford University Press, 1965)
Here is a reprinting, presumably the second printing, of a book of which we have a copy from the first printing. This is a beautiful large-format hardbound book, this copy in good rather than excellent condition. The ...
The Lion and the Rat: A Fable by La Fontaine.
(Franklin Watts, 1963)
Here is another case where I got a backup copy only to discover that I had only the paperback (1963/86). See my comments there.
