Fables
(Houghton Mifflin, 1989)
This large-format pamphlet includes nine fables from Aesop, two from La Fontaine, one from Lobel, and four from Ginsburg. All but the last four have full-page color illustrations. Ginsburg's four stories are apparently ...
La cigarra y la hormiga y otros cuentos.
(Editorial Ramon Sopena, 1983)
Three fables and two stories with big, good art. The title story is fine. The ant carries a basket of grains. The grasshopper (Jiminy Cricket?) plays the violin. He acts like a rude, crazy child. Lovely illustrations, ...
Fables
(Houghton Mifflin, 1989)
Here is an extra copy of this book. This large-format pamphlet includes nine fables from Aesop, two from La Fontaine, one from Lobel, and four from Ginsburg. All but the last four have full-page color illustrations. ...
Aesop and Hyssop
(Open Court, 1912)
Here is a second extra copy of the paperbound version of this delightful book! This book has more than a bit of whimsy in it, composed as it is (in verse) by its author in grief over having lost his wife or best friend. ...
Ride the East Wind: Parables of Yesterday and Today.
(Quadrangle, 1973)
Here is an extra copy of this book. Weird re-workings of Aesop in a book heavy with the editor's own work. The book has a curious structure: it picks out key statements to repeat and adds quotable morals. The titles ...
Aesop's Fables and Other Stories
(M.A. Donohue, 1925)
Here is an extra copy of this book. I am going crazy because I recognize both the drawings (Weir?) and the page tops of the fables on the first forty pages of this book. Then it moves off to various other children's ...
Fabeln und Bilder
(Der Kinderbuchverlag Berlin, 1984)
Here is an extra copy with a dust-jacket. A really lovely book. Eleven fables, including two from Aesop (FG and Die Katze und die Hühner) and from Krylov (Der Hahn und die Perle and Der Schwan, der Hecht und der Krebs). ...
The Big Book of Fables
(Portland House, 1987)
Here is an extra copy of this book with a torn dust-jacket. I find nothing to indicate that the illustrations come from fifty years ago, which would have been my suspicion. Witty line-drawings, some silhouettes, and ...
Animal Frolics
(McLoughlin Brothers, 1890)
A surprising find. Mother and I went to a craft show on the fair grounds. I finished early and invaded the antique fair next door. I have looked through thousands of books shown by antique dealers. I rarely find ...
Favourite Fables for Tiny Trots
(Wells Gardner Darton & Co., 1899)
Here is a fine miniature book. The slightly damaged cloth cover features a large bird looking down at a frog; the back cover has two frogs struggling to carry a large box. Besides an illustrated frontispiece of TMCM and ...
