The Lion and the Rat: A Fable by La Fontaine.
(Franklin Watts, 1963)
Here is another case where I got a backup copy only to discover that I had only the paperback (1963/86). See my comments there.
Le Loup et le Chien
(Ediciones A. Saldaña; Albo Delmar Import-Export, 1984)
Here is an interesting case of things coming together from different times and places. In Salamanca in 1986, I found a simple pop-up from a publisher I did not know. Sixteen years later I found a French die-cut presentation ...
The Rich Man and the Shoe-maker: A Fable by La Fontaine
(Oxford Univ. Pr.Oxford University Press, 1965)
Here is a reprinting, presumably the second printing, of a book of which we have a copy from the first printing. This is a beautiful large-format hardbound book, this copy in good rather than excellent condition. The ...
The Hare and the Tortoise (Japanese)
(Rakuda Shuppan Dezain, 1969)
Here is the Japanese version of Wildsmith's work, originally published by Oxford University Press in 1966. The bibliographical data here notes that original publication and seems to indicate a publication date of 1969 for ...
The North Wind and the Sun: A Fable by La Fontaine
(Franklin Watts, 1964)
A beautiful book in excellent condition. Wildsmith's best illustrations of the three books of his that I have. The question of the bet is Let's both try [to] blow it off his back. What nonsense! Complete with an ...
Dame Cigale et Dame Fourmi
(Kenworthy Educational Service, 1970)
This book is exactly identical with the pamphlet version of the same year, title, and publisher. I do not know whether the Perma-Bound hard cover comes from the publisher or perhaps from some librarian. In any case, the ...
The Lion and the Rat: A Fable by La Fontaine.
(Oxford University Press, 1963)
This big book is an excellent format for Wildsmith's large and colorful work. There are several good illustrations--of the lion hunting and of the animals rushing to see--but I do not find the quality of the art sustained. ...
Dame Cigale et Dame Fourmi
(Kenworthy Educational Service, 1970)
Very pleasant little sideways pamphlet. The series' purpose is to learn by having fun. The presentation and version both help to that end. The figures are lively. The best may be 14's image of the cricket washing clothes ...
The North Wind and the Sun: A Fable by La Fontaine.
(Oxford University Press, 1964)
Even the paperback is a beautiful book in this case! See my comments on the original hardbound edition under 1964.
The Rich Man and the Shoe-maker: A Fable by La Fontaine.
(Oxford Univ. Pr.Oxford University Press, 1965)
A beautiful large-format hardbound book in excellent condition. The version used here departs significantly from LaFontaine's text. This version adds--and puts special emphasis on--the children who come out to listen to ...
