The Ass and the Lapdog & Other Stories
(Pegasus B. Jain, 2010)
There are four fables in this 16-page, large-format (almost 8½ x 11) booklet. The title-story comes only third of the four. The Shepherd and the Wild Goats is well told and well illustrated: those who treat new recruits ...
The Hare & the Tortoise & Other Stories
(Pegasus B. Jain, 2010)
There are four fables in this 16-page, large-format (almost 8½ x 11) booklet. TH is told in traditional fashion, but the booklet's cover presents the hare riding on the tortoise. The hare also happens to be holding a ...
Fabeln und Parabeln der Weltliteratur
(Max Hesses Verlag, 1907)
I previously knew Etzel's work through a 1990 edition by Bechtermünz Verlag, which -- as is now clear to me -- took Etzel's classic text collection and added illustrations, making a small-format book into a large one. Now ...
Fables for Little Folk
(George Philip & Son, 1896)
This little (5 x 7½) book of 91 pages will not have changed the world of fables much, I presume. I have found two reviews. The first comes from The Educational Times of February 1, 1896: Equally charming on other lines ...
Childhood Fables for Grownups
(Joclem Music: Boosey & Hawkes, 1959)
There are six fables included in this pamphlet of some 36 large-format pages. They include: Polaroli; Tigeroo; Lenny the Leopard; The Frog and the Snake; Two Worms; and The Duck and the Yak. The texts are at least partially ...
The Making of a Lion
(Shanti Publications, 2013)
One of twenty in the series, found near the counter as we were settling up a large order of books. Sixteen pages with standard computer art. This is a fine story, too seldom retold. Four friends have learned a good deal ...
The Clever Pigeon
(Shanti Publications, 2013)
One of twenty in the series, found near the counter as we were settling up a large order of books. Sixteen pages with standard computer art. This is the story that comes early in the Friends cycle of Kalila and Dimna. ...
The Clever Plan
(Shanti Publications, 2013)
One of twenty in the series, found near the counter as we were settling up a large order of books. Sixteen pages with standard computer art. This is the story of the two crows who turn to a fox -- surprisingly, not a ...
School Reading by Grades: Third Year
(American Book Company, 1897)
There are four fables in this reader. MSA (10) is well told and features a good black-and-white illustration of the donkey swinging crosswise from a pole. TMCM (42) is told in a version very close to Jacobs' and offers ...
Le Monde Magique des Contes et Légendes (Livre 2)
(Les Éditions Tormont Inc., 1989)
This very large-format pamphlet is referred to in Livre 1 of the same series (containing TMCM and FS) as Livre 2, but there is no indication here that this is Book Two or even that there is a series. PML Editions is added ...
