The Sick Lion and The Hare and the Tortoise
(Award Publications Limited, 2001)
This volume belongs to a set of eight large 8½ x 9½ pamphlets illustrated by Biro, most containing one longer and one shorter story. Each page contains a head-line which repeats above the illustration part of what will ...
The Bear and the Travellers and The Ducks and the Tortoise
(Award Publications Limited, 2002)
This volume seems to belong to the set from which I already have two other volumes, but the three booklets are printed by different companies. See The Ass in the Pond by Ginn in 1984/85 and The Eagle and the Man by the ...
My Gold Storybook
(Hamlyn, 1981)
Fables form the backbone of this eclectic reader: thirteen of twenty-five stories. This collection seems to be the source, in the case of Aesop and a few others, for Treasury of Literature for Children (Exeter, 1983). ...
Aisopoksen Tarinoita
(Satukustannus, 1990)
This book reproduces almost exactly a book I have in English: Collected Tales from Aesop's Fables (1986), a Gallery book from W.H. Smith Publishers. This edition skips the foreword, but its T of C, which borrows the ...
Collected Tales from Aesop's Fables
(Gallery BooksSmith Publishers, 1986)
One of the best renditions I have seen lately. The pictures are excellent, well produced, and witty. Some stories besides SW miss, as when the dolphin does not use a proper name with the monkey. Some are softened: the ...
The Eagle and the Man
(The Wright Group, 1986)
A simple pamphlet by the illustrator of Collected Tales from Aesop's Fables (1986). This fable is not included there. #8 of a set of twelve.
The Sick Lion
(The Wright Group, 1990)
Another nicely conceived work by Biro. Sixteen pages. This -- #16 -- is the only copy I have from the latest series, 13-18. The tired lion here wears a sport jacket, vest, and tie. Deciding to look sick, he puts on ...
The Donkey and the Lapdog
(The Wright Group, 1986)
Number 11 in the series. I am doing what I can to find the full set of these eighteen pamphlets. Biro's work is always lively, and this is a fine sixteen-page presentation. Biro is particularly good at giving this donkey ...
Treasury of Aesop's Fables
(Award Publications Limited, 2007)
This book takes sixteen of Biro's texts and illustrations from earlier series and puts them together nicely. Two of the stories found in the earlier series do not appear here: The Boy and the Lion and FC. Note that these ...
The Donkey in the Lion's Skin
(The Wright Group, 1986)
Number 3 in the series. Here is a quirky eBay find. I had found one other book in this set, which now includes not twelve but rather eighteen members. Biro's work is always lively, and this eight-page presentation of ...
