Aesop's Fables
(Paul Hamlyn, 1965)
Here is a copy of the wonderful Untermeyer/Provenson edition from a different than usual publisher. My many other copies of this favorite book come from Golden Press, a part of Western Publishing. They are acknowledged ...
Still More Aesop's Fables
(Ideals Publishing Co., 1966)
This is a small-format book, almost a pamphlet. Surprise! I had thought that the companion volumes in 1965 and 1966 were the whole set. Perhaps the most entertaining illustration here features a gigantic ant biting the ...
Isoppu Ebanashi (2)
(KodanshaK¿dansha, 1961)
This thick-paged children's book shows its age. The spine is weak and cramped. Various artists present generally a two-page spread of simple art for each fable. The stories include BF, The Net That Lets Little Fish ...
Aesop's Fables
(Franklin Watts, 1968)
Here is a dust-jacketed reprinting of a book already in the collection under 1968. Vastly superior in its illustrations to the Avenel facsimile (1975?). This is not a facsimile, for it omits the illustration of the ...
Oshare no Kitsune-Isoppu Dowashu (Chic Fox-Aesop's Nursery Tale Collection).
(Popura-ShaPopurasha, 1965)
I see thirty-one listings in the T of C at the (Japanese) beginning, but it seems to me that there are many more fables than that here. The illustrations on the box and cover are simple but nice. The three full-color ...
Fables from Aesop
(Blackie, 1961)
AI at the back. The alternating (water-?) colored and black-and-white illustrations are not bad. Maybe the best thing about this kids' book is the morals--e.g., for the man who loses his wig: When others laugh at us, ...
Aesop without Morals
(T. Yoseloff, 1961)
One of the best sources for straight fables. Daly uses Perry as his basis for translation. Simple black-and-white ink sketches. AI. Quite comprehensive. A worthwhile book.
The Country Mouse and the City Mouse; The Fox and the Crow; The Dog and His Bone.
(NY: A Golden Book/Racine: Western Publishing Co.Western Publishing Company, 1961)
This is a re-issue of the above book, with a touched up cover, title page, and copyright page. The price has gone up from 25 to 99 cents! And there is a new publisher involved.
The Country Mouse and the City Mouse; The Fox and the Crow; The Dog and His Bone.
(Golden Press, 1961)
This is the original behind My Nursery Tale Book, which is a bigger book including several non-Aesop stories. The two stories used in the bigger book cut out several pictures from each story (including the dog and the ...
Fabulas de Esopo
(Susaeta Ediciones, S.A., 1965)
Found early in my time in Madrid. Spirited watercolor illustrations. The one-page-each approach keeps the fables nicely brief, but limits the pictures to one for each fable. I really like these witty illustrations. I ...
