Favole di animali: Fiabe di la Fontaine, Fedro e Esopo.
(AMZ Editrice, 1960)
Colorful and often useful pictures. I like the one of the ant giving hell to the grasshopper. Good faces too on the fox with and moving away from the grapes. Style is simple but colorful, and the cut of the pictures ...
Folk-Lore and Fable: Aesop, Grimm, Anderson.
(P. F. Collier & Son Company, 1909)
An unspectacular selection of Joseph Jacobs' Aesopic fables claims the first 35 pages or so of this collection. It is, as far as I can see, valuable only as testimony to Aesop's popularity. No illustrations. T of C at ...
[Thai] [lion/mouse cameo on cover]
(ʻAmnūaisān, 1980)
Two fables are illustrated with eight pages of simple green monochrome each at the beginning: Talkative Turtle and Frogs Desiring a King. Then lots of stories without English or illustrations. T of C at the beginning.
Folk-Lore and Fable: Aesop, Grimm, Anderson.
(F.P. Collier & Son Corporation, 1909)
This volume, in very good condition, has elements of both my 1909 and my 1909/37/69 editions. With the latter it shares pagination and frontispiece but not the fancy binding. With the former it shares the notation that ...
Fiabe di La Fontaine
(Editrice AMZ, 1960)
This book largely reproduces, in both verbatim texts and exactly the same illustrations, Favole di animali: Fiabe di la Fontaine, Fedro e Esopo by the same publisher, which I have listed under 1960/80. See my comments ...
Aesop's Fables. An Anthology of the Fabulists of All Countries.
(London: J.M. Dent/NY: E.P. Dutton, 1913)
Now I have worked my way back to a first printing of this classic! In keeping with previous annotations on this book, I will mention the distinguishing marks of the next printing (1918) as opposed to this one. The 1918 ...
Fables: Aesop and Others
(London: J.M. Dent/NY: E.P. Dutton, 1913)
A packed little volume, with eighteen chapters divided by author. No illustrations. Good modern versions of people like Caxton. This book has been very helpful in preparation of the course on fables this past semester. ...
Aesop's Fables.
(London: J.M. Dent/NY: E.P. Dutton, 1913)
I am delighted at last to get an early Everyman edition. Compare this edition with that of 1913/42. There are surprising little changes, though the body of the introduction, the fables presented, and their pagination ...
Eric Carle's Treasury of Classic Stories for Children.
(Scholastic, 1988)
As far as I can tell, there is nothing new here in fables; Carle is drawing on his 1980 Twelve Tales from Aesop. The one story from there that is dropped here is The Birds, the Beasts and the Bat. I liked Carle's work ...
Favole di animali
(AMZ Editrice, 1974)
Twenty-eight years ago I found a book by the same publisher covering fewer fables but using the same illustrations. The publishing history is not easy. That book used a subtitle Fiabe di la Fontaine, Fedro e Esopo. Its ...
