Les Fables de La Fontaine
(Fahrenheit 450: CreateSpace Independent Publishing Platform, 2014)
Here is an inexpensive paperback version with good printings of Doré's illustrations, all 585 of them, as the title-page reminds us: 89 full-page compositions, 248 large designs preceding fables, and 248 vignettes after ...
Kejsarens nya kläder
(Bonnier Carlsen Bokförlag, 2010)
This is for me a favorite version of Andersen's great story because it is so frank about the Emperor's nudity. The cover's image is the same as that on the title-page, and both are explicit about showing him naked except ...
Fables Chinoises du IIIe au VIIIe Siècle de Notre Ère
(Éditions You Feng Libraire & Éditeur, 2013)
The cover of this reprint is almost identical with the cover of a book I have by the same title and the same authors, but the books are, I learn to my surprise, totally different. Chavannes and Chavannes did a book for ...
Les Fables de La Fontaine 1
(Chouetteditions.com, 2014)
Here is a new series just developing. Its particular approach is to insert comments between verbatim lines of La Fontaine's verse fables. I find the method apt and effective. Construing poetry -- surprisingly -- baffles ...
The Aesopic Fables Written in Hurrian
(Collection Développons: TheBookEdition.com, 2013)
Carl Sandler Berkowitz tipped me off to the existence of this book shortly after it was published, and I deeply appreciate the tip. This scholarly paperback brings the sixty-second language to this collection. After an ...
Fables Impertinentes
(Éditions Retz, 2010)
One of a cycle of books produced by Retz as impertinentes. Each fable's retelling plays some game, like GA's substitution and multiple placement of pitit all over the fable, as in this line 'I was singing,' replied the ...
The Fables of Aesop and Others Translated into Human Nature (Hand-colored)
(W. Kent & Co./Calligraphics, 2012)
Here is a lovely product of the labor of love of Paul Veres. He has scanned an original copy of the 1857 edition, cleaned it up with Photo Shop, and reproduced it on excellent paper. In this case, he has also bound the ...
Aesop's Fables
(CreateSpace Independent Publishing Platform, 2014)
120 pages. This book is close to the nadir in trendy publishing. The good news is that it offers Townsend's texts in readable form. The less good news includes the simple setup of the book: pages typed onto or scanned ...
The Hawk and the Crow (Chinese)
(Human Cultural Enterprise Co., 2010)
This is a very pleasing series of twelve 12-page pamphlets of unusual proportions, namely just under 10 inches square. The two-page spreads here are again dramatic, from the time that the crow sees the hawk swoop down ...
The Frogs Begging for a King (Chinese)
(Human Cultural Enterprise Co., 2010)
This is a very pleasing series of twelve 12-page pamphlets of unusual proportions, namely just under 10 inches square. Lively expressiveness is the characteristic of this book and its art. A reader may not know what those ...
