A Child's Version of Aesop's Fables
(Ginn and Co., 1894)
This seems to be an exact reprinting of the 1891 version, of which I have a copy. It seems also identical with the 1904 version, of which I also have a copy. Was the series' name in those versions "Classics for Children" ...
Ivan Krolov
("Eesti Raamat", 1969)
There are three fables in Estonian in this twenty-page book 7¾ x 7. Each has a strong black-and white ink illustration. The Monkey and the Spectacles has spectacles and their parts around the monkey at its center. The ...
I.A. Krylov: Basni
(Bely Gorod PublishingBelyĭ Gorod, 2003)
This is a major addition to the collection. It is the deluxe Russian edition of Ivan Krylov's fables published in the special series The Big Illustrated Library of Classics. Large format (8 x 10½). Very heavy. 648 ...
Basni
("Sov. Rossii͡a"Covetskar Rosser, 1988)
A compact edition with T of C at the rear. About one-quarter of the fables are illustrated. Are these done in charcoal? They are delightful but indistinct in this printing format.
A Child's Version of Aesop's Fables
(Ginn & Co., 1904)
This copy of Stickney's book is a duplicate of the 1904 Ginn edition, with three exceptions that I can find. First, Ginn is located now in Boston, New York, Chicago, and London. Secondly, this copy is not dated. Thirdly, ...

Here are 103 Krylovian fables -- of the 200 or so that he created -- translated into Lithuanian in a sturdy paperback book 6¼ x 9?. Many are illustrated with the familiar black-and-white illustrations of A. Laptyev. The ...
I. A. Krylov: Basni
("Dialog", 1994)
Imagine my surprise first at finding a Russian bookstore in my wanderings around Kanda, and then my surprise at finding a lovely Krylov edition, and finally my surprise--after lots of deliberation over a stiff price--at ...
Krylov's Birds & Beasts: A Selection of the Fables
(Howard Baker, 1990)
A curious book by a translator who is pictured standing with a bear! Forty-five verse fables in rhyming couplets, with the last of them, Dancing Fish (77) in two versions, the first of which was originally suppressed by ...
Basni
("Khudozhestvennai͡a literatura"Artistic Literature, 1984)
The illustrations are delightful. Those that are immediately clear as Aesopic for fables I know come on pages 4-5, 11, 38-9, 55, 177, and 183. Valuable for including to show Aesop's international influence. Here is a ...
Russian Fables of Ivan Krylov
(Penguin Books, 1942)
I am amazed to see this bilingual Russian/English Penguin published during the war. The English is identical, in the instances I have checked, with Pares' Cape edition (1926) and my Harcourt edition (1926/26?). The Cape ...
