Aisopoksen Tarinoita
(Satukustannus, 1990)
This book reproduces almost exactly a book I have in English: Collected Tales from Aesop's Fables (1986), a Gallery book from W.H. Smith Publishers. This edition skips the foreword, but its T of C, which borrows the ...
The Donkey and the Lapdog
(The Wright Group, 1986)
Number 11 in the series. I am doing what I can to find the full set of these eighteen pamphlets. Biro's work is always lively, and this is a fine sixteen-page presentation. Biro is particularly good at giving this donkey ...
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 ...
The Donkey in the Lion's Skin
(The Wright Group, 1986)
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 Goose That Laid the Golden Eggs
(The Wright Group, 1986)

The Donkey and the Lapdog
(Ginn and Company, 1984)
This is an engaging sixteen-page pamphlet with stiff covers. Biro's best illustration here may be the double-page centerfold showing the dog in the master's lap and the donkey looking in enviously through the window. In ...
The Farmer and His Sons
(Ginn and Company, 1984)
This is an engaging sixteen-page pamphlet with stiff covers. Biro's best illustration here may be the double-size picture at the centerfold: the boys run to the field, each with a different dream of treasure pictured in ...
The Ass in the Pond
(Ginn and Company Ltd., 1984)
This booklet is identical with a third impression found earlier. This has no such marking, and so I presume that it is a first impression. Let me repeat some of my comments from there. This is an engaging eight-page ...
The Man, His Son, and the Ass
(Ginn and Company, 1984)
This is an engaging sixteen-page pamphlet with stiff covers. Two things are of note in this delightful rendition of the traditional story. First, the upside-down expression of the ass being carried on the pole is worth ...
The Ducks and the Tortoise
(Ginn and Company Ltd, 1984)
This is an engaging eight-page pamphlet with stiff covers. The tortoise's downfall here comes when he says to the amazed people Look, I can fly! The only report of what happened next is: Thump! Now I have found five of ...
