Aesop's Fables
(Doubleday, 1968)
Use the AI at the back. Table of illustrations on 19. The illustrations have a simple charm, but I think that one of them is enough for a good illustrated lecture. Do not miss Tinkelman's dust jacket illustration up and ...
Aesop's Fables
(Lancer BooksMagnum Books, 1968)
I see only two things that justify the existence of this book: its slightly larger than average print (advertised as at least 30% larger) and the great question on its first page: Can you guess the moral? I am keeping ...
Aesop's Fables--lessons in living
(Brownlow, 1969)
This book is singular for giving not only a moral but an application in each instance. I would gather that it is also an example of eclecticism in the cranking out of Gift Books. Here we have two translators, two ...
Aesop's Fables, Volume IV
(Trillium Press, 1985)
This volume includes Noah at its end and the funny and unusual Momus fable. Asked to look at the original creations (man, house, and ox), Momus found fault with everything by saying Too bad it doesn't have... He was ...
Aesop's Four Footed Fables
(Star Rover House, 1985)
A strange book combining typed text and crude two-colored illustrations. The best pictures are those of the dog and sow (5) and of the camel looking in the mirror (35). The text of The Cat and the Rats catches the ...
Aesop's Fables, Volume II
(Trillium Press, 1985)
The best pictures here are for DLS and FK. The best moral is to The Fox and the Lion : Knowledge overcomes fear. The best ending line has the goat asking the wolf Are you worried about my dinner or yours?
Aesop's Fables, Volume III
(Trillium Press, 1985)
This volume moves on to poems, possessives, and competition. The best illustrations are for BC, The Tree and the Reed, and AL.
Mythoi Tou Aisopou (Aesop's Fables)
(D.C. Divry, 1950)
The Greek makes for fun reading, and the verse morals are cute, but I am afraid there is not much here more than evidence that Greeks still relish the stories (and that they are good for teaching!). The illustrations are ...
Corpus Fabularum Aesopicarum.
(Teubner BSB, 1970)
This book apparently includes the addenda and corrigenda of Haas appended in the 1957 edition, which this edition revises (see my comments there). There is an Ordo Fabularum beginning on XXXIII. This fascicle contains ...
City Mouse--Country Mouse.
(Scholastic Book Services, 1970)
Meant for little kids. Pleasant water-colors with cartoon statements. The illustration style is itself that of kids. I enjoy the assemblies in BC. Also included is LM. Packaged with a 33 rpm recording.
