Best Loved Fables of Aesop/Nonsense Alphabets.
(Grolier Society, 1967)
This book is identical (in larger format with enlarged and relatively good illustrations) with the Avenel edition (1967?) of the same name, except that it also contains Edward Lear's Nonsense Alphabets upside down and going ...
Aesop and Hyssop
(Open Court, 1912)
Here is the paperbound version of this delightful book! This book has more than a bit of whimsy in it, composed as it is (in verse) by its author in grief over having lost his wife or best friend. Besides some 175 Aesopic ...
Storytime Favorites
(Wonder Books: Grosset & Dunlap, 1947)
A happy little book with three fables among its six stories between washable covers. The shepherd boy here wants wolves to come for more excitement! Also FG and TH. Simple art. The Greg Williams version seems to be the ...
Tales and Fables/Yugoslav Folk-Tales/The Jack Tales.
(Great Books Foundation, 1967)
The Jacobs translation of 1894 of a surprising number of fables makes up the second of four parts taking up twenty-eight pages of this little paperback. No illustrations; no mention of the translator; no mention of an ...
The Illustrated Book of World Fables
(Windward, 1979)
This book reproduces exactly the same book as published by Book Club Associates in the same year. Even the printer is the same. I presume that the Book Club Associates edition is the more original and expensive. This ...
Songs & Fables
(The Inkwell Press, 1990)
This is one of three Torre books identical in format that I was able to get in a group from Scottsbooks. Might it mean that I now have all of Torre's fable books? Like the other Torre books I have found, it is beautifully ...
Rhymes & Fables
(The Inkwell Press, 1996)
This is one of three Torre books identical in format that I was able to get in a group from Scottsbooks. Might it mean that I now have all of Torre's fable books? Like the other Torre books I have found, it is a beautifully ...
Das grosse Buch der Fabeln
(Ensslin & Laiblin Verlag, 1962)
This seems to be an earlier copy of a book I have already listed. The one difference I can find between the two copies is that the obverse of the title-page there lists 20.-25.Tausend, while there is no such marking here. ...
Fables
(Les Editions Cocorico, 1952)
See the English-language Nursery Tales in 1952, which this small French book (6.5 x 8) reproduces. See my comments there. In Le Chien et le Coq, the dog is presented to the fox by the rooster not as doorman but as ...
How the Rabbit Fooled the Whale and the Elephant; The Man Who Kept House; Why the Bear Has a Short Tail (Cover: How the Rabbit Fooled the Whale and the Elephant and Other Stories)
(Wonder Books, 1946)
Here is a new and curious experience. This book is the predecessor of another that I have already catalogued. That book's title begins Why the Bear Has a Short Tail and it is listed in 1946. Now I have found this version ...
