The Tortoise and the Hare (Storytoon)
(Rand McNally, 1962)
Harmless, simple cartoons. The boasting hare waited in order to make the finish exciting, and the wait led to a two-minute nap that stretched on and on. The hare could never boast again.
The Town Mouse and the Country Mouse 780(hdbd)
(Saalfield, 1942)
This hardbound version takes the first page and repeats it twice as its covers. It thus has a different cover from all the other versions. Multiple threats occur in the city house: from the cook, a trap, the cat, and ...
The Town Mouse and the Country Mouse 2912
(Saalfield, 1942)
This regular paper edition is in the best condition of the four editions I have. It drops four of the interior pages found in the other editions. Multiple threats occur in the city house: from the cook, a trap, the ...
The Town Mouse and the Country Mouse 407(cloth)
(Saalfield, 1942)
This paper edition is in the poorest condition of the four different editions I have of this nice oversized booklet. The cover picture matches that of the paper edition (#2912). Like the two copies of #476, this is called ...
Toby Tortoise and the Hare
(Walt Disney Enterprises, 1938)
I am glad at last to have some original Disney fable work. The presentation is surprising. It assumes the race. During it, Max shows off for the little-girl rabbits at Miss Cottontail's Boarding School. (They can be ...

(Delacorte Press: Bantam Doubleday Dell Publishing Group, 1989)
Advertised on the back cover as containing delightful twists of Æsop's Tales. The closest Aesopic fables I can remember are about the picky heron (but there the victims get smaller and do no pleading) and about a variety ...
The Town Mouse and the Country Mouse
(Green Tiger Press: Laughing Elephant Books, 2007)
As this copy notes, this book was first published by Saalfield Publishing Company in 1942. It took many forms. Now Green Tiger Press, Blue Lantern Studio (who holds a 2007 copyright on the book), and Laughing Elephant ...
The Tiger and the Brahmin
(Rabbit Ears Productions, 1992)
A brightly colored book with dramatic illustrations. The story founds the Brahmin's dilemma well by pointing out his duty to practice charity to all things. The book has already stressed the role of duty in India and in ...
Turtle and Rabbit
(Follett, 1981)
See my comments on the identical hardbound version.
La Cigale et les Fourmis
(Hachette, 1935)
This is the earlier but poorer copy of a book I found again in 2014, and so it is now the extra copy. Here is a treasure. I find it curious that in a book marked with a Disney copyright, the illustrations are done after ...
