The Best of Aesop's Fables
(Joy Street Books Little, Brown and Co.,, 1990)
A pleasing and tasteful book. The versions are brief and often leave the last phase to the reader; there are no morals. The illustrations are in a contemporary New Yorker cartoon style. LM is different and good: simple ...
Aesop's Fables: A Classic Illustrated Edition.
(Chronicle Books, 1990)
A truly magnificent book--not that different from a book I would have liked to publish someday! Excellent black-and-white and color illustrations. The five-page introduction gives a good overview of the history of Aesop ...
Esopovi Ba?ky (Ukrainian Aesop's Fables)
("Veselka", 1990)
This is a small book, about 5 x 6¾, with 247 pages of Aesop's fables followed by a T of C. The brown silhouette on the cloth cover -- of two mounted Greek horsemen and one soldier with a kneeling horse -- gives a sense ...
Esopete ystoriado (Toulouse 1488)
(Hispanic Seminary of Medieval Studies, Ltd., 1990)
This is a singularly economical comprehensive large-format presentation of the first of the three Spanish incunabula derived from Steinhöwel's Ulm edition of 1476-77. The scholarly apparatus is helpful and impressive. T ...
Aesop's Fables
(Running Press, 1990)
Excellent versions of fourteen well chosen fables. TMCM includes bothersome cricket noise, bubble gum on the sidewalk, and seafood restaurants. Overspending because of the eggs drives the owner of the golden goose to ...
Fabeln von Äsop
(Patmos, 1990)
This book, like the English, is derived from the Italian original. The illustrations seem identical with those in the English version. Do not confuse this book with Testa's more recent book of Aesop's fables, done in a ...
Aesopia
(Filmkunst-Musikverlag, 1990)
This is a valuable addition to the collection about which I cannot say much! See my program Iani Novák Aesopia/Jan Novák Aesopia (1989) for some background comments.
Die Grille und die Ameisen
(Dr. Hans Peters Verlag, 1990)
This delightfully illustrated large-sized book represents the third language for the same publication. See both the English and Japanese editions in 1982. As I wrote of the English edition, Tharlet's work is almost ...
The Best of Aesop's Fables
(Walker Books Ltd., 1990)
See my comments on the first US edition from Little, Brown and Company in 1990. A wonderful book!
Aesop's Fables: A Classic Illustrated Edition.
(Pavilion Books, 1990)
This is the (simultaneous?) UK edition mentioned by the Chronicle edition, though this edition does not mention that one. Internally the books are the same, including the high quality reproductions of the art. Here the ...
