The Hare and the Tortoise/A Foolish Miller and His Donkey
(Joie, 1989)
Good lively cartoon work in the Disney tradition. The righthand pages are full illustrations, while the left present the text with one telling symbol. The English is sometimes a little off: on 19 we read lead for led. ...
Fabulas: Esopo
(Editorial Limusa, 1989)
See 1975 and then 1986/89 for Fabulas: Felix Maria Samaniego, the latter most closely paralleling this book with seven full-page colored illustrations, identified on the reverse. 257 fables after a short introduction and ...
Aesop in Japanese Clothing
(The Hokuseido Press, 1985)
Here are twenty-three fables presented in humane fashion. Milward imbeds each fable within a little essay of his own, often starting with a Japanese proverb. Thus The Grasshopper and the Ants is involved in a discussion ...
[Korean] Sun and Wind
(Bum WooP*omusa, 1987)
A pleasing simple book of the above four fables and TB. This book seems typical of recent Korean work, for it is both colorful and vivid. The echoes are particularly good, e.g., that of the fellow diving into the ...
The Lion and the Mouse: An Aesop Fable
(Modern Curriculum Press, 1987)
This 9 x 5½ landscape-formatted pamphlet was a nice gift to find on the last afternoon of my thirty-day retreat. Here the female mouse runs onto the lion's nose. The artist cleverly puts the lion's ROAR! upside-down, ...
Aesop's Fables for young readers: Teacher's Edition
(A Beka Book: A Ministry of Pensacola Christian College, 1988)
See the 1976 (original?) printing and my later 1979/86 printing. This teacher's edition adds a number of things, starting from a cover-scene of the finish line of TH. A set of 32 gray pages is added before the usual ...
Fabulas de Esopo
(Ediciones CoquitoIberia S.A., 1981)
This book of 126 pages has four parts, clearly marked out in the T of C at the end. It may be in the same series as my 1989 Fabulas de Samaniego from Susaeta by way of Suromax. I have long been a fan of Mordillo's ...
Aesop's Fables
(Oriental University Press, 1987)
Ninety-five fables in a book distinguished by different approaches to printing than we are used to. Thus the cover has Aesop's Fables stamped on it twice besides the title, and the author's name appears likewise twice. ...
Aesop's Fables
(Picture Book Studio, 1989)
Another victory for Neugebauer. A wonderful book. Zwerger's twelve ink-and-wash illustrations are witty and delightful. The best illustration features the camel dancing and the animals laughing. Other good illustrations ...
Androcles and the Lion
(Holiday House, 1989)
A well-told big-book version that helps the story by having the cruel master shackle Androcles and by making Androcles a friend of animals before he meets the lion. The best illustration has the lion holding his paw over ...
