Antike Fabeln
(Aufbau-Verlag, 1978)
This is one of the most helpful of books on classical fables, because it presents a complete set of translations of ancient fables. Thus it has five different versions noted under Der Fuchs u. die Trauben in the AI, which ...
Fables of La Fontaine
(University of Washington Press, 2006)
Here is the second of two extra copies of this book. In 1855 the French caricaturist Honoré Daumier and other artists proposed to illustrate anew the fables of la Fontaine. Their project was never realized, but it inspired ...

The Town Mouse and the Country Mouse 2407(cloth)
(Saalfield, 1942)
I cannot believe the various editions of this book that I am finding! I think this makes the sixth. It seems to replicate #407 perfectly in terms of the sequence of pictures. Is it perhaps a more recent version of it? ...
The Favourite Book of Fables
(Thomas Nelson and Sons, 1890)
A wonderful little book of 117 fables, most notable for two features. First is its beautiful pictorial spine and covers, featuring good colored illustrations of five fables. Second is its interior mix of illustrators and ...

Here is an extra copy. This story is not from the fable world I know. Jemima is dissatisfied living on the farm because her eggs are taken from her and hatched by hens. The farmer's wife thinks that ducks are poor ...
Selected Fables of Aesop
(Trautmann, Bailey & Blampey, 1964)
Here is a second copy. A Help Yourself Booklet offered to GM Men and Women by General Motors Information Rack Service. I find it amazing that I did not come across this book for twenty years and then found it twice within ...
Fables Aesop Never Wrote, but Robert Kraus did.
(Viking Penguin, 1994)
Here is a second extra copy of the first printing. An amusing book that tries to do with traditional fables roughly what Bierce and Thurber did. Though I salute a fellow Milwaukean, I think the effort falls short. The ...
Twelve Tales from Aesop
(Philomel Books: Putnam, 1980)
This is an extra copy from the New England Mobile Book Store. Both art and narrative are lively and playful. FC and GA offer excellent illustrations from this fine piece of work. The crow holds a sausage in his beak, a ...
L.N. Tolstoy: Rasskazy I Basni
(Detskaya Literatura, 1983)
This is an extra copy of this pamphlet. Here is a pamphlet of some 32 pages. In it I can recognize a number of Aesopic fables, like Fox and Goat (8-9); DS (10); Peacock and Crane (11); and DW (27-28). Is that Mother ...
