Schoene Fabeln des Altertums
(Dieterich'sche Verlagsbuchhandlung, 1955)
Nice titles give the point (but not the characters) of each fable. The two vignettes face the title page (FG, well done) and the beginning of the collection. The extra copy differs in having an ISBN number, a different ...
Old Gold: A Book of Fables and Parables.
(NY: E.P. Dutton and Company/London: J.M. Dent & Sons, Ltd., 1910)
A compact little book presenting ninety-five Aesopic fables and twenty-six of Jesus' parables cleanly and simply. The fable selection includes La Fontaine, Krylov's The Monkey and the Spectacles, and one fable new to me, ...
Aesop and Hyssop
(Open Court, 1912)
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 fables, there are some twenty-seven originals composed ...
A World of Stories for Children
(The Bobbs-Merrill Company, 1947)
This 820-page book has a large subtitle to match: The Great Fairy, Folk Tales and Legends of the World from the Earliest Times to the late Nineteenth Century. Pages 27 through 63 are given to fables without illustration ...
Fabelbüchlein
(Quadrate Buchhandlung und Antiquariat, Mannheim, 1995)
Here was a very lucky find on this visit's first day in Mannheim. I had found some things in this store on various previous visits. Many of the other used book shops in Mannheim have ceased to exist, so I was happy to ...
Fabeln und Parabeln der Weltliteratur
(Max Hesses Verlag, 1907)
I previously knew Etzel's work through a 1990 edition by Bechtermünz Verlag, which -- as is now clear to me -- took Etzel's classic text collection and added illustrations, making a small-format book into a large one. Now ...
Von Mensch und Tier: Ein Fabelbuch fur die deutsche Jugend
(K. Thienemanns Verlag, 1920)
The fables are traditional Aesopic stuff. Of the twelve strong full-page illustrations, I find best FK (69); The Fox and the Goat (97); and TT (117). This is a sturdy book. It has lasted now for almost one hundred years! ...
Let's Learn To Read: Fables Retold
(Blackie & Son, 1960)
Here are ten well chosen stories, each with at least one two-color design. The Cock and the Dog'; TH, The Stag at the Pool; OR, The Wicked Cobbler; FC' The Farmer and the Eagle; SW; LM, and The Woodcutter and His Axe. ...
Alte Tier Fabeln.
(Paul Cassirer, 1920)
Forty-six fables. Traditional fables (like FG; The Lion, the Ass, and the Fox; FC, which is overturned in a second phase; AD with a bee instead of an ant; GA; The Goat, the Lamb, and the Pig; and The Lion and the Ass) are ...
Fables
(Editions de deux coqs d'orEditions des Deux Coqs d'Or, 1963)
Here is an old friend back again -- and again slightly different. This is the fifth form in which I have found this booklet. The book is softbound, like the 1972 version. Unlike that version -- which had 350 on its cover ...
