A Hundred Fables of Aesop
(Omega Books, 1984)
This book is almost perfectly identical with one published by Gallery Books in the same year. My suspicion is that Gallery had the American contract and Omega the British contract. As I wrote then, this book puts together ...
The Tortoise and the Hare
(Holiday House, 1984)
Slightly larger than the identical hardbound copy from the Weekly Reader Children's Book Club.
Aesop's Fables: Selected and Told Anew by Joseph Jacobs
(Capricorn Press, 1984)
This is a fresh rendition of MacMillan's 1964 edition of Jacobs and Levine. Clifton Fadiman's essay from that edition has dropped. So has the portion of the title that claimed a tracing of the fables' history. Added are ...
The Hare and the Tortoise
(Piccolo Picture Classics Pan Books Ltd.,, 1984)
A smaller replica of the same title in 1985 by Dutton, with watercolors slightly less well done. Meg calls attention to the lovely pun near the end: By a hair's breadth. This is indeed an enchanting book, with lovely ...
The Miller, His Son and Their Donkey
(Distributed in the U.S. by Holt Rinehart, and Winston,North-South Books, 1984)
The big-format pictures are satisfactory. The order of elements is slightly changed: the episode in which both miller and son walk comes late, when a traveller says One could ride. Then they carry the donkey, who ...
The Tortoise and the Hare
(Holiday House, 1984)
Somewhere between McLenighan and McKissack's Turtle and Rabbit (1981) and Castle and Weever's The Hare and the Tortoise (1985). A lively pop rendition, with a number of changes from Aesop. The rooster, for example, (not ...
Henry and Theresa's Race
(Western Publishing Company, 1984)
The title-page proclaims Story based on the Aesop's Fable 'The Hare and the Tortoise.' This little (5¾ x 6¼) booklet has seen a great deal of use and wear! The seller's description aptly calls it a feel good book. ...
A Hundred Fables of Aesop
(Gallery Books, 1984)
This book puts together two people I have seen extensively elsewhere. The reproductions of Billinghurst are good. He shows occasional touches of imagination, but seems generally to provide a standard picture for a tale. ...
Aesop's Fables
(The Franklin Library, 1984)
A curious, pretty, expensively-bound book with leather and gilt and a sewn-in place-mark. I will be interested to compare it to the edition that Franklin did two years earlier with the same authors (and the same translations?) ...
Ezop Masallari
(Altin Kitaplar YayineviAltın Çocuk Kitapları, 1984)
This is an unassuming Turkish paperback edition of Aesop's fables without illustrations. After an introduction (5-12) by Tarik Dursun K., fables are offered--one to a page--on 13 through 126. There is neither a T of C ...
