Fabeln des Aesop
(Otto Maier Verlag, 1966)
Here is the German version of the book written by Louis Untermeyer and published by Golden Press a year earlier in the USA. This version follows the original down to the pagination of each fable. As I write there, this ...
Aesop's Fables Translated and with Full Notes
(Commercial Press, LimitedShang wu yin shu guan, 1921)
Here is a softbound reader with lots of explanations right after each paragraph -- and even each sentence -- of a fable. There are 126 fables on 326 pages. The whole book is deteriorating. There is a T of C at the ...
The Fables of Aesop now newly imprinted by Vincent Torre
(At The Ink-Well PressPrinted for E.W. at the Sign of the Ink-Well, 1952)
Gradually I am coming to the end of finding--and affording--the various fable works of Vincent Torre. This is another beautiful piece. This book is a surprisingly short 40 pages long and contains twenty fables. The ...
Aesop's Fables Retold in Verse Braille
(Seedlings Braille Books for Children, 1989)
Here is a large-format spiral-bound Braille edition done from the Morrow Junior Books edition of 1988. I am delighted that Seedlings chose the Paxton version to present to their readers because Paxton, a writer of popular ...

Number 3 in the series. Here is a quirky eBay find. I had found one other book in this set, which now includes not twelve but rather eighteen members. Biro's work is always lively, and this eight-page presentation of ...

The Sick Lion
(The Wright Group, 1990)
Another nicely conceived work by Biro. Sixteen pages. This -- #16 -- is the only copy I have from the latest series, 13-18. The tired lion here wears a sport jacket, vest, and tie. Deciding to look sick, he puts on ...
Aesop's Fables (FC on cover)
(Collins' Clear-Type Press, 1922)
This is another thinner edition of The Children's Press edition of the same year, but it has more in common with it than the previous listing. The layout of the T of C is identical, as are the title-page illustration and ...
Aesop's Fables (FC on cover, no colored illustrations)
(Collins' Clear-Type PressThe Children's Press, 1922)
This is a derivative version--shorter and no doubt cheaper--of Rountree's works from The Children's Press (1922?) and Collins' Clear-Type Press (1922?). This book has only twenty fables, no colored illustrations, and a ...
The Bowers Movie Book: Book 2: Aesop's Fables
(Harcourt, Brace and Company; The W.F. Powers Company, 1923)
Flip the Pages--The Pictures Live, the cover proclaims. I swear I had found a copy of this book before, but I cannot find it now. The inside back cover proclaims four books in the series; Aesop's Fables is the second of ...
