Domestic Fables
(The Elizabeth Press, 1971)
This is a good book of generally page-length poems. I enjoy the poems, like Letters on 71. One poem is titled Fables (58). It celebrates two famous legends. My purpose in including this book in the collection ...
Aesop's Garden
(North Atlantic Books, 1976)
A book of poems, one of which (41-66) is Aesop's Garden. This is the kind of poetry that does not use punctuation except the parenthesis and the dash. I noted five levels of indentation. The poetry is heavy on ...
feldman fieldmouse: a fable
(Harper & Row, 1971)
A fine ninety-six-page novellette about young Lonny's friendship with Fendall and his spirited uncle Feldman. Feldman becomes enraptured with experiencing a moon dance that involves wonderful leaps into the air. He heard ...
The Biggest Pig in Barbados
(Longmans, Green, 1965)
Ninety pages of a delightful and well illustrated tale. The characters are great fun. The book is--I agree with its flyleaf--notably enjoyable and happy. In what sense is this story a fable?
Steve Allen's Bop Fables
(Simon and Schuster, 1955)

Fables of Wit and Elegance
(Charles Scribner's Sons, 1972)
Here is a book I include for just one reason: it shows the range of the word fable in the vocabulary of an enlightened contemporary reader and writer. As far as I can tell, fable is not used once in this anthology of ...
Two Fables
(Doubleday Page & company,, 1925)
A delightful introduction engagingly brings the reader to the points in Morley's life at which he met each of these two fairy tales. Morley seems to use that expression interchangeably with fables. De Musset's ...
Greener Pastures: A New Deal Fable of Past, Present, and Future.
(The Caxton Printers ltd.,, 1936)
This is a political satire on the New Deal. I lasted two scenes, given mostly to satirizing the alphabet soup of government organizations that FDR created. Other than demonstrating one of the uses to which the word fable ...
Im Spiegel der Tierwelt: Studien von Käthe Olshausen-Schönberger
(Braun & Schneider, 1905)
This is one of three printings I have of the first volume of this work. Like the apparent first edition, this edition prints on only one side of the page. Also like the first edition, it has heavy paper and is therefore ...
