Im Spiegel der Tierwelt: Studien von Käthe Olshausen-Schönberger, II. Teil (cover: Neue Folge)
(Braun & Schneider, 1905)
See my comments on the first, third, and fourth volumes of this lovely little collection, all under the same date of 1905? This volume starts off with a lively contrast between the official and non-official dining-out ...
Im Spiegel der Tierwelt: Studien von Käthe Olshausen-Schönberger
(Braun & Schneider, 1905)
Ten years ago, I found one volume (Volume IV) of this work by Olshausen-Schönberger and I admired it. As I said in reporting on it then, it is one step from being a fable book, but it is too delightful to leave out of the ...
Im Spiegel der Tierwelt: Studien von Käthe Olshausen-Schönberger, Siebente Auflage
(Braun & Schneider, 1905)
See my comments on the apparent first printing listed under 1905? I see three differences in this book. The cover's boards are lighter both in texture and in color. The inside pages are thinner. Above all, each page ...
you turned the fables on me
(Price/Stern/Sloan, 1978)
The only touch of Aesop in this pun-happy simple cartoon book is on the cover. At least it is clear that Aesop gets around!
Im Spiegel der Tierwelt: Studien von Käthe Olshausen-Schönberger, Dritter Band

Further Forensic Fables
(Butterworth, 1928)
I had earlier found Fifty Forensic Fables, though in a republication by the original publisher in 1949. See my comments there. Again, these stories had all appeared in the Law Journal. Before the thirty fables, this ...
Im Spiegel der Tierwelt: Studien von Käthe Olshausen-Schönberger, II. Teil (cover: Neue Folge)
(Braun & Schneider, 1905)
See my comments on the second printing of this second volume in the series. This copy differs from that one otherwise only in the cover. There the cover was textured like cloth and darker. Here it is a lighter color and ...
Domestic Fables
(The Elizabeth Press, 1971)
This is a good book of generally page-length poems. I enjoy the poems, like Letters on 71. One poem is titled Fables (58). It celebrates two famous legends. My purpose in including this book in the collection ...
Aesop's Garden
(North Atlantic Books, 1976)
A book of poems, one of which (41-66) is Aesop's Garden. This is the kind of poetry that does not use punctuation except the parenthesis and the dash. I noted five levels of indentation. The poetry is heavy on ...
Fables and Fantasies
(Duke University Museum of ArtThe Museum, 1988)
A glossy exhibit catalogue of a show united around a central concept. These forty-four recent works are related by their use of myth, legend, or personal fantasy as a mode for expressing the troubled human condition in ...
