Esopo: Fabulas
(Editorial Diana, S.A., 1952)
This is a colorfully covered book of 121 pages of fables on poor and fragile paper. About every five pages there is a full-page line-drawing in black-and-white. These line-drawings are quite straightforward. The texts ...

This little (about 4½ x 6) pamphlet contains eleven fables, as the closing T of C makes clear. Besides the fables, there are four pages of texts and a page of music and lyrics for Au Clair de la Lune. I am not sure how ...

The text seems otherwise unchanged from the 1954 first printing. There is a new cover. Note that the reference to Rieu on the very first page has changed. This newer book was cheaper than the older one!

Fables of Aesop
(Penguin Books, 1954)
This is the only hardbound Penguin edition that I think I have ever seen! It looks from several indications as though it were printed for some country in Asia. It has some Oriental (?) characters on the verso of the ...

Fables of Aesop
