La liebre y la tortuga
(CarvajalEditorial Norma, 1979)
Good pop-ups, some of which even incorporate a bit of action, for example when the hare rises up tired or when the race-finishing judge waves the checkered flag. The hare has a great grumpy look on the last page. For ...
Once a Mouse...
(Charles Scribner's Sons, 1961)
This classic tale is well told here, with lively two-color and three-color illustrations. The endpapers of the olive edition (marked 6.70 on the reverse of the title-page) are torn. The multi-colored copy is marked 4.69.

The Fables of Aesop with a Life of the Author.
(John W. Lovell Co., 1865)
One illustration per story, noble rather than imaginative. The applications are often longer than the fables!
Aesop's Fables #1
(Fantagraphics Books, 1991)
Twelve fables. A letter on the inside front cover explains the choice of Aesop's fables: Santino wanted to adapt an overlooked classic in the public domain. This introduction has good and bad moments. Some of the good ...
Aesop's Fables #2
(Fantagraphics Books, 1991)
Seven fables presented in weird but enjoyable fashion. The Camel is surprising and strange to me. WS, The Ape and the Fisherman, and The Crow and the Mussel seem to me simply and deftly done. In The Locust ...
66 Favorite Stories: 140 Pictures
(Merrill Publishing, 1938)
This is a big, cheap-paper book fourteen of whose sixty-six stories come from Aesop. Generally, the black-and-white illustrations are simple, and the tellings standard. FC has been transformed into The Fox and the Hen ...
The Book of Fables in Prose and Verse
(Kiggins and Kellogg, 1845)
This book, originally sold for $.06, is charming evidence of what fables meant for children in the middle of the nineteenth century. The fables here are long and heavily didactic. The first and longest of the seven fables ...
Alexander and the Wind-Up Mouse
(Alfred A. Knopf, 1969)
More pictures here than in my Frederick's Fables (1985), but the colors are not as lively. I catch one slight change from Alexander to he. This is a marvelous story of love and of dreams come true. Bravo, Alexander, and ...
