Ch. H. Kleukens: Fabeln: Ein Trostbüchlein
(Druck der Mainzer Presse: Presse des gutenberg-Museums: Verlag für Kunst und Wissenschaft, 1951)
This is a beautifully produced book containing some seventy fables on 65 pages. Printed in black and red on thick paper. Green boards. I learn from my favorite private collector that this is the only edition of this ...
Fables from Aesop
(Blackie & Son Ltd., 1920)
This is a book I almost missed. It looks familiar. Even after I received it, I thought it must be a copy of something I already have. Its front cover features a pasted colored illustration of a peacock with a crane ...
Spanish Fables
(Prentice-Hall, 1930)
I discover as I catalogue this book that I have it twice. The first irony in that discovery is one I have experienced often: the books are not the same. The second irony is that the book which I think is older cost $46 ...
Le Liévre [sic] et la Tortuë Mis en Fable par Différens Auteurs
(en l'École Municipale Estienne, 1914)
Before writing anything else, I must point out what seems to me a major mistake in this student book. The first four presentations of Lièvre get the accent wrong! Those presentations are on the cover, on the first and ...
The Tortoise and the Hare (Storytoon)
(Rand McNally & Company, 1962)
I had already found two copies of this book. Dismayed at finding I already had a third copy but had not yet catalogued it, I checked once quickly. The quick check showed that this--presumably earlier--printing is almost ...
Les Plus Belles Fables de la Fontaine: 20 Fables Choisies
(Verlag Moritz Diesterweg, 1974)
Before the fables start in this 80-page pamphlet, there is a helpful two-page Bestiaire des Fables, picturing various animals who will appear in these fables. Vocabularies for individual fables then drive students back ...
Spanish Fables
(Prentice-Hall, 1930)
Integrating this book into the collection has brought several ironic twists. I discovered as I first catalogued it that I have it twice. The first irony in that discovery is one I have experienced often: the two books ...
Favorite Folktales and Fables for Boys and Girls
(Hart Publishing Company, 1950)
Fifteen Aesopic fables are mixed in here with various folktales. There is a good black-and-white-and-green illustration of a broken bridge and the fallen donkey (53); other illustrations are of LM (61) and WC (64). Also ...
I.A. Krylov: Basni
(Dietckij LiteraturyGos. izd-vo detskoĭ lit-ry Ministerstva prosveshchenii͡a RSFSR, 1948)
This book seems a standard presentation of Krylov's fables, with a rich assortment of A. Laptyev's 1947 illustrations. Might they perhaps have been done for this edition and then used extensively elsewhere? The T of C ...
Fables: Feng Hsueh-feng
(Foreign Languages Press, 1953)
Once this book arrived, I thought it a repeat of something I already have. Closer inspection shows that I have a softbound second edition of 1955, while this is the first edition of 1953. Apparently the order of fables ...
