Aesop's Fables
(Doubleday, 1968)
Use the AI at the back. Table of illustrations on 19. The illustrations have a simple charm, but I think that one of them is enough for a good illustrated lecture. Do not miss Tinkelman's dust jacket illustration up and ...
Aesop's Fables
(Lancer BooksMagnum Books, 1968)
I see only two things that justify the existence of this book: its slightly larger than average print (advertised as at least 30% larger) and the great question on its first page: Can you guess the moral? I am keeping ...
Aesop's Fables--lessons in living
(Brownlow, 1969)
This book is singular for giving not only a moral but an application in each instance. I would gather that it is also an example of eclecticism in the cranking out of Gift Books. Here we have two translators, two ...
Aesop's Fables
(Junior Deluxe Editions, 1968)
The same material one finds in the standard Doubleday editions (1968) with the exception of Singer's introduction and the AI at the back. The print is larger, the order of fables is rearranged, and there seem to be fewer of them.
The Miller, His Son, and Their Donkey
(Whittlesey House: McGraw-Hill Book Co., 1962)
It took me five years to find this book! A simple account with nice pictures, told traditionally up until the end where the miller saves his donkey from the river.
Aesop's Fables
(Pyramid BooksPyramid Publications, Inc., 1967)
Here is a small (5¼ x almost 3¾) pamphlet of 64 pages with a fable for each page starting on 5. Three fables (TMCM, MSA, and The Hare and Her Many Friends) extend over two pages. A sample of three texts finds them ...
Fables from Aesop
(Blackie & Son Ltd., 1964)
Here is a small hardbound book the size of a traditional Penguin paperback, with one hundred and nine fables, perhaps fifteen to twenty of them illustrated in black-and-white with either a partial-page or a full-page ...
The Danish Aesop: 59 of the old animal fables
(Hans Reitzel, 1961)
This book has become a favorite of mine. A note before the fables traces the fascinating history of this collection. Some of the fables first appeared in a private edition by Hjorth's Printing-House in 1943 for distribution ...
The Danish Aesop: 59 of the old animal fables
(Hans Reitzel, 1961)
Here is the paperbound version of the great book I had found a year and a half earlier. See my extensive comments there. I find no difference between the two except in the binding. This copy is in better condition than that.
Cent dix-sept Fables d'Esope enrichies d'autant de figures selon l'édition de M.DCC.LXIII
(Au club Français du livre, 1963)
I had found a copy of this book twelve years ago. In keeping with a policy of including even extra copies of numbered, limited edition books, I will include this copy too. I can offer one new piece of information. I ...
