Mís fábulas favorítas
(Susaeta, 2004)
"Here is a large-format stapled pamphlet of 24 pages that spent too long in a musty basement. It presents some heavy handed themes for little readers? TH is pictured in flowerchild fashion on the cover, with bugs and ...
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 ...
Aesop's Fables Set in Verse
(H. Jerome Alter, 2011)
Here is a privately published, printed upon demand paperback book of some 153 pages after ten pages of introduction. Each fable gets a new page; a few run over onto a second page. As the back cover says, On a light note, ...
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 ...
Fables Choisies, Mises en Vers
(BiblioLife/Jean-François Bastien, 2014)
This unlucky purchase represents some of what is wrong with print on demand publishing. I had noticed the book long ago on Amazon.com and had been curious what John Quincy Adams was doing as a writer or editor of fables, ...
Le courbeau et le renard
(Nathan, 2005)
This is one of six books in a series. I am sorry to have missed the series. Now only two of them seem available at reasonable prices, and here is the second of those two. The pamphlet offers delightful cartoons, starting ...
Ho Tzitzikas ki ho Mermenkas
(Ankyra, 2004)
Here is one of a series of 16 slick oversized 8-page pamphlets, of which I have three. The grasshopper here is a rock star with some of the features of Elvis. The ants are coolies wearing Chinese hats. In the cold the ...
Ho Pseutes Boskos
(Ankyra, 2005)
Here is one of a series of 16 slick oversized 8-page pamphlets, of which I have three. The most dramatic picture in this version is the two-page spread just before the end: two black wolves with red eyes and sharp teeth ...
101 fables du monde entier
(Bayard Jeunesse, 2003)
This is a stout, heavy book about 6 x 7¾. It was once the property of the École Primaire Publique in Marseilles. Each fable gets a two-page spread with a text and small design on the left and a lively full-page colored ...
The Tortoise and the Hare
(Creative Publishing: Transglobal Communications Group, 2004)
Here is a large square (8) board book with 12 pages. It is perhaps most memorable for its images of the hare with fashionable sunglasses. Here the wolf starts the race with a gun. There is a strange juxtaposition of two ...
