The Illustrated Book of World Fables
(Windward, 1979)
This book reproduces exactly the same book as published by Book Club Associates in the same year. Even the printer is the same. I presume that the Book Club Associates edition is the more original and expensive. This ...
David Fable Books No 1
(Thorsons Publishers Ltd., 1943)
There are five stories in this book. I ordered this one for the collection because of the title of the first: The Story of Anna, Buddy, and the Country Mouse. That story is utterly charming, together with its colored ...
The Picture Treasury of World Fables 1
(Shandong Friendship Press, 1989)
Here is the first volume of an ambitious set of five. This comprehensive presentation is quite an undertaking! This Book One covers Aesop, Phaedrus, and Sadi. It offers some 84 fables on 368 pages. There is an English ...
The Picture Treasury of World Fables 2
(Shandong Friendship Press, 1989)
Here is the second volume of an ambitious set of five. This comprehensive presentation is quite an undertaking! This Book Two covers fables by Krylov and Schedrin and other fable writers from the Soviet Union, Romania, ...
Feathers and Tails
(Philomel Books, 1992)
Eighteen fables, two proverbs, and one riddle in a selection of wonderful variety and freshness. Besides old friends from La Fontaine (2), India, and Aesop (including two labelled Babrius and Armenia ), there are ...
Dichos de Bichos: Fábulas en Verso.
(Ediciones Paulinas, 1987)
My kind of a fable book. Fr. Bojorge has fun with the fables, whether adapting, expanding, or commenting. So far I have read Book I (of III). The Spanish seems highly idiomatic. In the best story in Book I, rats nest ...
La cigarra y la hormiga y otros cuentos.
(Editorial Ramon Sopena, 1983)
Three fables and two stories with big, good art. The title story is fine. The ant carries a basket of grains. The grasshopper (Jiminy Cricket?) plays the violin. He acts like a rude, crazy child. Lovely illustrations, ...
Fabeln und Parabeln von Äsop bis Brecht.
(Insel-Verlag, 1961)
A hidden treasure sitting in the Collectible section of a favorite bookstore. In the midst of a delightfully broad and understandably heavily German spectrum of fabulists, I find the selection here surprising. Aesop ...
The Illustrated Book of World Fables
(Book Club Associates, 1979)
A curious book containing one hundred fables. The introduction gives a key: following Robert Louis Stevenson--second only to Aesop in representation here--the collector finds that the key to fable is its suggestiveness ...
Dobutsu Guwa-Shu (Animal Fable Collection).
(BookmanBukkumansha, 1974)
My travels have yielded this book now in four forms: besides this Japanese edition, I have one in English, The Big Book of Animal Fables (1965), one published in Germany by Deutscher Bücherbund in Stuttgart and Hamburg ...
