Aesop: Fables
(Alfred A. KnopfDistributed by Random House, 1992)
I have wanted a Gooden Aesop since I found his La Fontaine edition (1931) four months ago. This book does not seem to mention Gooden's 1936 limited edition of 525 copies done by George Harrap using L'Estrange's version. ...
The Children's Aesop
(Caroline House/Boyds Mills Press, 1992)
Well done! Twenty-eight fables generally given two pages apiece for the tale and the picture, with a moral clearly boxed in a different color at the end. Well told, especially for children, with morals that make sense, ...
Fun with Aesop: Activity Edition, Volume I
(Telcraft: Tell Publications, 1991)
Six Aesopic fables well told for children. Some of the animals get specific names. There is a moral at the end of each fable, and then two or three brief comments. The fable is then retold in verse in a fashion that ...
Fun with Aesop: Activity Edition, III
(Telcraft: Tell Publications, 1991)
Six Aesopic fables again well told for children. The pattern continues: fable, moral, comments, retelling, activity. Again, the texts are very suitable for telling the fables to children. Generally, the fable itself ...

This volume reproduces all that is in the three larger-format books--which this volume calls the original Fun With Aesop 3-volume set (reverse of title page)--except the activities. Each volume becomes one part ...
Aesop's Fables
(Pavilion Books, 1992)
A very pleasing book available from this publisher only in the United Kingdom. See the adjacent listing for the first U.S. edition. Salter was born in Cairo, and her art here is in a primitive style after that of Persian ...
The Best of Aesop's Fables
(Joy Street Books Little, Brown and Co.,, 1990)
A pleasing and tasteful book. The versions are brief and often leave the last phase to the reader; there are no morals. The illustrations are in a contemporary New Yorker cartoon style. LM is different and good: simple ...
Aesop's Fables: A Classic Illustrated Edition.
(Chronicle Books, 1990)
A truly magnificent book--not that different from a book I would have liked to publish someday! Excellent black-and-white and color illustrations. The five-page introduction gives a good overview of the history of Aesop ...
Aesop's Fables
(Bloomsbury Books, 1994)
Here are 143 fables, each starting on a new page, in a simple paperback claimed by no author. A quick test of the texts does not reveal a standard source. A long T of C at the beginning lists each fable. There are no ...
