Stories from India
(The Garrard Press, 1961)

Mís fábulas favorítas
(Susaeta, 2004)

A Child's Bouquet of Yesterday
(American Studio Books, 1946)
This is a lovely, gentle, little book. It has a section on fables on 9-13, but in truth two of its five selections there are not fables. There are good tellings and depictions (two perhaps from old chapbooks and one from ...
