The Donkey in the Lion's Skin
(The Wright Group, 1986)
Number 3 in the series. Here is a quirky eBay find. I had found one other book in this set, which now includes not twelve but rather eighteen members. Biro's work is always lively, and this eight-page presentation of ...
An Aesop's Fable: The Old Man and Death.
(The Good Book Press, 1986)
A beautifully made little book that tells this Aesopic story very well. The size seems to me to work against the two cuts. There is an exquisite design of hatchet and wood on the cover. For other work by Peter and Donna ...

(The Wright Group, 1986)
Number 2 in the series. Here is a quirky eBay find. I had found one other book in this set, which now includes not twelve but rather eighteen members. Biro's work is always lively, and this eight-page presentation of ...
The Donkey and the Lapdog
(The Wright Group, 1986)
Number 11 in the series. I am doing what I can to find the full set of these eighteen pamphlets. Biro's work is always lively, and this is a fine sixteen-page presentation. Biro is particularly good at giving this donkey ...

The Eagle and the Man

The Fox & The Crow
(Jim YarnellOak Park Press], 1986)
A nicely produced little sliver that shows how Aesop keeps getting remembered wherever book-people gather.
Aesop's Fables
(Silver Burdett, 1986)
The line drawings impress me as more successful than the colored illustrations, which seem a nostalgic attempt. The best of the line drawings is of The Stag and the Pool. Some of the texts run long; FC, for example, ...
Collected Tales from Aesop's Fables

This book seems an exact reproduction of one done in the same year by Gallery Books of Smith Publishers of NY. That book was printed in Hong Kong. This book is in the series Wishing Well Books by Joshua Morris Publishing ...
Aesop's Fables Coloring Album
(Troubador Press: Price/Stern/Sloan, 1986)
This is a later reprinting of Troubador's 1982 coloring album, with about fifteen splendiferous psychedelic pictures to color in. As I mention there, generally the art has lost sight of the story. Troubador found a new ...
