The Lion and the Ox
(MacMillan, 1932)
I had found another copy of this book twenty-four years ago. This copy is identical except for the different color -- and material? -- of the cover. This copy has a partially sun-bleached green cover. Its black cover ...
Walt Disney: Tell Me a Story, Volume 18
(Bantam Books, 1983)
I was at first frustrated as I started to catalogue this book. The collection has some 106 items connected with Disney. I decided to plow my way through, believing that I surely had this book, which I had found for a ...
The Discontented Frogs
(McLoughlin Brothers, 1890)
Here is a landscape-formatted book in fair to poor condition. The cover's picture of four frogs sitting on pods is marred by a remnant of tape near one frog's mouth and a small chip missing in the upper left corner. The ...
Country Mouse, City Mouse
(Random House, 1978)
A cute Disney version that strings the tale to some length. It dresses the mice, gives them names and even a mouse car that screeches around bigger cars. This version departs from the tradition in that the city mouse, ...
Classics Illustrated Junior, #545
(Famous Authors, Ltd., 1957)
The Donkey and the Salt takes up three pages (28-30). In this version of the story, the owner returns with the donkey three times in one day to the same place. The owner is happy in the end that he has taught the beast ...
Uncle Frank's Select Fables for Good Boys and Girls IV: The Ant and the Caterpillar
(Wm. H. Murphy, 1851)
The cover reads Uncle Frank's Fables for Children: The Ant and the Caterpillar. Fourth of six volumes (listed on the back cover), with pages numbered here surprisingly from 103-36. Twenty-one fables. The organizing ...
12: Fables
(1955)
This is a typical Japanese fable book as I have come to know them. I am guessing that it is in a series of twenty-five books. They are listed on the last page, which for Western readers is where we look for the first ...
Belling the Cat
(Oxford University Press, 1981)
A lively version involving the personalities of the whole mouse family, particularly the hungry young Michael and his wise old grandfather. The illustrations are simple and spirited.
The Hare and the Hedgehog
(Derrydale Books, 1983)
Great stiff pages. The hedgehog looks as though Steiff made him! The race seems to involve just one furrow each time, and it seems to be the same furrow each time! The cover picture gives the sense of a race better than ...
la Zorro y el Cuervo
(Organizacion Editorial NovaroOrganización Editorial Novaro., 1974)
A comic book using these two Aesopic characters but not doing an Aesopic fable. Other stories besides the three of the fox and the crow are included. Here is evidence that Aesop's matchups perdure.
