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 ...
Fables for Little Folk
(George Philip & Son, 1896)
This little (5 x 7½) book of 91 pages will not have changed the world of fables much, I presume. I have found two reviews. The first comes from The Educational Times of February 1, 1896: Equally charming on other lines ...
Childhood Fables for Grownups
(Joclem Music: Boosey & Hawkes, 1959)
There are six fables included in this pamphlet of some 36 large-format pages. They include: Polaroli; Tigeroo; Lenny the Leopard; The Frog and the Snake; Two Worms; and The Duck and the Yak. The texts are at least partially ...
School Reading by Grades: Third Year
(American Book Company, 1897)
There are four fables in this reader. MSA (10) is well told and features a good black-and-white illustration of the donkey swinging crosswise from a pole. TMCM (42) is told in a version very close to Jacobs' and offers ...
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.
(Les Éditions Tormont Inc., Montreal, 1989)
This very large-format pamphlet reproduces Le Coffret Magique des Contes et Légendes, II, Livre 1 but changes Coffret to Monde and drops II. It drops mention of Madison Marketing as a co-publisher and now claims only Les ...
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 ...
La liebre y la tortuga
(CarvajalEditorial Norma, 1979)
Good pop-ups, some of which even incorporate a bit of action, for example when the hare rises up tired or when the race-finishing judge waves the checkered flag. The hare has a great grumpy look on the last page. For ...
Jean de la Fontaine: Fables
(GF-Flammarion, 1995)
I am surprised that I had missed this sturdy 538-page paperback. I am glad to find it now. Besides providing a full text of the fables, it offers more copious notes--ninety pages worth--than the usual paperback edition. ...
LaFontaine Seçme Masallar [Cover: LaFontaine'den Massallar]
(Serhat YSD, 1984)
About this Turkish book I will not be able to write much. Its dust jacket cover features a composite picture of animals involved in La Fontaine's fables. Inside, there is a life of La Fontaine, followed by fables without ...
