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 ...
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 ...
Wereldse Vertellingen
(Ministerie van Buitenlandse Zaken/Ontwikkelingssamenwerking, 2005)
Here is a dear gift from a dear friend. Six stories with wonderfully lively illustrations take us into learning situations about the contemporary world. One story deals with an unnstable nest of ants, where one can even ...
Classika Eikonographemena: Aisopos
(Atlantis - M. Fechlivanides and Co., 2000)
This 48-page comic book, consistent with our Classics Illustrated, presents the life of Aesop. To my surprise, it starts with Aesop as an older man. I can make out very few of the more commonly supposed events of tradition ...
Samye Vesjolye Basni (Funniest Fables)
(Rosman, 2009)
Here is a delightful children's book of forty-six of Krylov's fables with lively colored illustrations. The book has a strong sense of play, right from the pre-title page's illustration of inkpot, feather, violin, glasses, ...
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 ...
Salut, Monsieur de La Fontaine: Fables nouvelles
(Éditions Art - Le Temps des Cerises, 2005)
Here are fables a la Fontaine and built from La Fontaine. The standard is two facing pages per fable, each fable with at least one colored illustration. I have tried the first few. Most accessible to me is Le Sanglier, ...
Raeven og storken
(Forlaget Flachs, 2008)
Here is a Danish version of a book I already have from Usborne in 2007 in English: The Fox and the Stork Based on a Story by Aesop. This edition follows that edition closely. Like that, this is a sturdy book, about 8 x ...
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 ...
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 ...
