Schoene Fabeln des Altertums
(Dieterich'sche VerlagsbuchhandlungDieterich'schen Verlagsbuchhandlung, 1954)
Compare with the later editions under 1955/84. By contrast this edition has Anmerkungen instead of Erläuterungen and names Horst Gasse as Dr. in the T of C (100). Though the pagination is the same, the plates are ...
Rhoda Power's Ten Minute Tales and Dialogue Stories
(Evans Brothers Ltd., 1954)
First printed in 1942. This book of radio transcripts has three major sections: "Nine Dialogue Stories"; "Twelve Stories to Tell or to Read"; and "Nine Fables of Aesop as Dialogue Stories." Third third set runs from 129 ...
The Fables of Odo of Cheriton
(Syracuse University Press, 1985)
Odo died in 1247. This work is a curious and engaging congeries of scripture, Aesop, Reynard and other typical sources of medieval literature. The focus seems more on allegory than on fable or even on story. Are these ...
As Aesop would say: Fables
(Financial Education Publishers, 1943)
Six fables in a pamphlet that constitutes a major find. There is something weird going on in this book. I have never seen before these fables of Babylon, of Greece, of India, and of Egypt. In the first ...
Ride the East Wind: Parables of Yesterday and Today.
(Quadrangle, 1973)
Weird re-workings of Aesop in a book heavy with the editor's own work. The book has a curious structure: it picks out key statements to repeat and adds quotable morals. The titles sometimes suggest applications. Pages ...
Nursery Tales
(Simon and Schuster, 1952)
6 x 8 pamphlet with four stories, each five or six pages in length. Three fables: The Dog and the Rooster, TH, and TMCM. In the latter, the cat, cook, and dogs come apparently together. In fact, some text may have been ...
Bajky: Nemecky Vypravuje (Cover: Fabeln)
(1932)
Here is one of the more fascinating fable books to come into my hands. First, it must be something of a miracle that this small (4¾" x 5¾") pamphlet has survived. Secondly, it is a curious book in that it advertises ...
Las Fábulas de Esopo.
(Editorial Epoca, S.A., 1971)
This is one of the wierder books I have. The wierdness starts with a cover picture stolen backwards from the frontispiece of Fritz Kredel's Aesop's Fables. Next we meet Velasquez' portrait of Aesop. Then we find 318 ...
The fables of Aesop and La Fontaine
(W.H. Allen, 1961)
Compare this book with the larger 1958 book with the same title by the same author and illustrator. It must be unusual in the history of publishing to have the same two combine on so different a work! Three of the ten ...
Aesop's Fables Retold for Children
(Thomas Nelson & Sons, Ltd, 1930)
This book is internally identical with another in the collection of the same size with the same title, publisher, and approximate date of publication. The difference is that this copy includes an additional colored picture ...
