The Fables of Aesop Printed from the Veronese edition of 1479 in Latin verses and the Italian version by Accio Zucco, with the woodcuts newly engraved and coloured after a copy in the British Museum
(Editiones Officinae BodoniOfficina Bodoni, 1973)
Read my commentary on the prospectus for this two-volume work under the same title and year, and you will read I doubt that I will ever have anything else from the Officina Bodoni in this collection! Hallelujah! I have ...
The Town Mouse and the Country Mouse: An Aesop Fable
(Rand McNally & Company, 1973)
I thought I had this book, and was wrong again! In fact, it is a copy of the much larger book of the same year from the same company. Where that book was 8 x 10¼, this little book is 4¾ x 6½. This book needs thinner ...
Aesop's Fables
(The Minerva Press & Hunkydory Designs Limited, 1974)
See my comments on the original 1895 version, which this splendid little book reproduces right down to its endpapers. The cover is green now, but it reproduces the same wonderful gold embossed illustration of a stork and ...
Paramythia Tou Aisopou, Protos Tomos
(Agkura D.A. PapademetriouAnkyra, 1978)
This is the first of six volumes in a series that I found in Greek Video's catalogue. Three stories: TH, GA, and AL. Simple colored illustrations often take a little more than half the page. The promythium to the first ...
H Gida Kai O Gaidaros
(Agkura D.A. Papademetriou, 1979)
This is a single story that is #18 in the series Paramythia tou Aisopou Me Eikones and reappears in the collection Paramythia tou Aisopou, Ektos Tomos, listed under 1992/96. I have six of the eighteen pamphlets in the ...

The Fables of Aesop: Selected, told anew and their history traced by Joseph Jacobs
(Godfrey Cave Associates, 1979)
The original of this book was published in 1894 by Macmillan. It has been reprinted quite often, for example by Schocken. This is the best facsimile reprint I have seen. Heighway's brilliant black-and-white work comes ...
Esopovi Baïky (Ukrainian Aesop's Fables)
("Veselka", 1972)
This seems to be an earlier collaboration among a team whose work was published by the same company in 1990. Again, the art is typified by a classical bent and by geometric patterns, often echoing those of classical Greek ...
Aesop's Fables
(Galley Press, W.H. Smith & Son Limited, 1978)
Here is a very curious book, marked by the cover of a lion reading a fable book in the presence of other animals and a title-page wordless fable of two mules and two piles of fodder. The first curiosity is that I had not ...
Pop-Up Fable Fun
(London: Chatto and Windus. Los Angeles: Intervisual Communications, 1978)
A new combination for me: a pop-up with picture-changing (not 3-D) glasses, unfortunately not present with this book. The boy crying Wolf! and the woodchopper needing an axe-handle are cleverly put into the same pop-up ...
