Animal Fables from Aesop
(David R. Godine, 1991)
A serious entry into the classic Aesopic tradition. Exceptional color illustrations in the anthropomorphic tradition of Grandville. The only flaw I see in the presentation of the nine fables (besides the cost of the book) ...
The Lion and the Mouse
(The Wright Group, 1990)
I have this little booklet already as it was produced in 1988 by Ginn and Company. Now here is the Wright Group's edition. It set or tied a record for my dealings on eBay, since I got the booklet for one cent! It once ...
Aesop's Fables
(Unicorn Publishing House, 1992)
This book makes a curious study in the movement from an original to a cheaper children's book. The sharp acrylics of Sturrock's 1988 edition have lost something here. The thirty fables there have become nineteen here. ...
Esopete ystoriado (Toulouse 1488)

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 ...

Pleasing, lively acrylics in a small-format book that was ordered as part of a promotion in conjunction with a lecture I gave here. Eleven fables. Differently told: Androcles and the lion are caught together. In the ...
Aesop's Fables
(Running Press, 1994)
An ingenious set. The fun starts with the excellent match of the book's cover with the surrounding package's picture. It continues with the insertion of a tape into the back of the book. The tape's renditions are much ...
The Fables of Aesop
(Lothrop Lee & Shepard Books,, 1994)
One hundred and three fables with thirty full-color paintings and many pen-and-ink drawings. The former are unusually well defined. In her first note, Rowan says that the morals have been so over-quoted that they have ...
Great Illustrated Aesop's Fables
(Baronet Books, 1994)
Does the fact that the cover and title page need to give examples indicate something? This seems to me to be an ultimate formula book. The two-page formula involves a story on the left, with a moral beneath it, and a ...
