Aesop: Tales of Aethiop the African, Volume I
(Sea Island Information Group, 1989)
See my comments on the first printing of this curious paperback booklet. I thought then that it needed an editor. The good news is that it found one! A number of problems in the first printing are cleaned up in this ...
Fables of Aesop
(Choun Moon Wha SA, 1988)
Clearly related to Choun's bilingual Fables of Aesop (1980/88), even down to the book's size and cover art. Again, the first 203 of Handford's 207 fables are presented, with the same footnotes. An analysis of the footnote ...
Stories from Aesop
(Oxford University PressUni-Phone Language Institute, 1982)
A good paperback with a clever concept. Pages 1-80 fit anywhere; pages 81ff. give Korean notes and translations (and identify Uni-Phone Korea's publication date). There are nine fables with simple illustrations often set ...
Fables of Aesop (Korean)
(Choun Publishing Co.Cho¿Ưn Munhwasa, 1980)
Now here is a fascinating book. It is a new edition (with 203 fables) based on the 1979 edition (which had 130). Apparently both used S.A. Handford's Penguin texts. This book simply photocopies them (with a few inserted ...
[Korean] Aesop's Fables
(Kana Ch¿¿ulp¿¿ansa, 1980)
This book is in the thick pages competition! The illustrations are so strong and dramatic that one needs no text! My favorite illustrations are from the bat story. The other two stories are FS and BF. This layout ...
[Korean] Sun and Wind
(Bum WooP*omusa, 1987)
A pleasing simple book of the above four fables and TB. This book seems typical of recent Korean work, for it is both colorful and vivid. The echoes are particularly good, e.g., that of the fellow diving into the ...
A Hundred Fables of Aesop
(Omega Books, 1984)
This book is almost perfectly identical with one published by Gallery Books in the same year. My suspicion is that Gallery had the American contract and Omega the British contract. As I wrote then, this book puts together ...
A Cowardly Bat/A Donkey and a Foolish Wolf/A Crow that was Tricked
(Joie, 1989)
The battle between the birds and the animals is set in Africa and gets detailed description. The monkeys wear coconuts and ride elephants! Good lively cartoon work in the Disney tradition. The middle story's moral misses ...
Ants and Grasshoppers/Three Oxen and a Lion
(Joie, 1989)
Here there are three grasshoppers instead of the usual one. The ant's last word is Just go on singing now. The lion--in the African savanna--gets the oxen arguing among themselves. Good lively cartoon work in the Disney ...
A Mouse's Gratitude/The Foolish Tiger and the Foolish Leopard/Outsmarting the Cat
(Joie, 1989)
The mouse is spared because she has seven children. The final story about belling the cat has a good moral: What you cannot do yourself, do not expect others to do. Good lively cartoon work in the Disney tradition. A ...
