Fabeln und Parabeln der Weltliteratur
(Max Hesses Verlag, 1907)
I previously knew Etzel's work through a 1990 edition by Bechtermünz Verlag, which -- as is now clear to me -- took Etzel's classic text collection and added illustrations, making a small-format book into a large one. Now ...
Le Monde Magique des Contes et Légendes (Livre 2)
(Les Éditions Tormont Inc., 1989)
This very large-format pamphlet is referred to in Livre 1 of the same series (containing TMCM and FS) as Livre 2, but there is no indication here that this is Book Two or even that there is a series. PML Editions is added ...
Le Monde Magique des Contes et Légendes, Livre 1 (LM et al)
(Les Éditions Tormont Inc., 1989)
This very large-format pamphlet reproduces Wielka Skarbnica Bajek, Ksiazka 1 (also 1989?). PML Editions is added on both covers and on the title-page but is not mentioned in the title-page account of the publisher. There ...
Endangered Species and Other Fables with a Twist.
(Stemmer House, 1979)
See my comments on the hardbound version.
Fables No. 2
(Rutherford Park Press, 1870)
Sixteen large-format (10 x 13) pages plus four full-page chromolithographs. Apparently this is the second in a planned series of eight folios on fables. It includes pages 16-32. The cover's description includes this: ...
Von Mensch und Tier: Ein Fabelbuch fur die deutsche Jugend
(K. Thienemanns Verlag, 1920)
The fables are traditional Aesopic stuff. Of the twelve strong full-page illustrations, I find best FK (69); The Fox and the Goat (97); and TT (117). This is a sturdy book. It has lasted now for almost one hundred years! ...
Fabeln: Politisch-moralisches Panorama unserer Zeit
(Gr. H. S. priv. Landes-Industrie-Comptoir, 1819)
What a curious title! And what a time to look for political-moral wisdom! Here are 153 fables on 182 pages. Each new fable begins a new page in this small -- about 4 x 5 -- book. Its only illustration is the frontispiece ...
Kleines Fabelbuch, Enthaltend 237 der schönsten Fabeln zum Nutzen und Vergnügen der Jugend
(Druck und Verlag von Fleischhauer und Spohn, 1848)
This little book is impressive in several ways and curious in another. It is impressive as a kind of tour-de-force of versification. Gebauer has taken most of these 237 fables and turned them into (mostly harmless) German ...
Fabelbüchlein
(Quadrate Buchhandlung und Antiquariat, Mannheim, 1995)
Here was a very lucky find on this visit's first day in Mannheim. I had found some things in this store on various previous visits. Many of the other used book shops in Mannheim have ceased to exist, so I was happy to ...
Fàbulas de Mayor a menor 3
(Uranito Editores, 2012)
Nacho reads to Tobi from this book -- in this number, outdoors. A full-page cartoon of them precedes each fable and follows the last fable. The latter applies the moral in the daily life of Nacho and Tobi. Those preceding ...
