Fabeln, Parabeln und Gleichnisse.
(Deutscher Taschenbuch Verlag, 1970)
A wonderful little treasure put together by one of the people who knows this area of literature best. This work is basically a collection of texts supplemented by a good twenty-page introduction, a bibliography, and a ...
Fairy Tales
(Platt & Munk: Grosset & Dunlap, 1970)
A soft book for kids that cheats by putting in TMCM. Both illustrations for that are good.
The Family Treasury of Children's Stories.
(Doubleday & Company Inc.,, 1956)
The title page would lead one to believe that this is the same book as that printed under the same title in 1956. But it drops the first 200 pages ( Fairy Tales, Old and New and Fun and Fantasy ) and adds 300 pages ...
Demi's Reflective Fables
(Grosset & Dunlap, 1988)
A lovely book of thirteen ancient Chinese fables, which happens to include one usually told as an Aesopic fable: The Bat and the Weasels. The book's special approach is reflection: a mirror on the flyleaf lets a reader ...
The Tall Book of Nursery Tales
(Harper & Row, 1944)
This reprint (which does not admit that it is such) has a different cover and is somewhat sloppily assembled.
The Fox Book
(Frederick Warne, 1971)
This is a forty-eight page children's book in a series (whose name seems not to appear on the book) on various animals. See the companion The Owl Book (1970). Amid some lovely illustrations, we get all sorts of stories ...
My Book of Fairy Tales and Fables
(Brown Watson, 1978)
Two fables among the twenty-three stories here. The hare and the tortoise (77) first talk of a race to the end of the world, but settle on a nearby tree trunk as a goal. The hare sleeps before he even takes a step! ...
Once Upon a Time
(Harper & Row, 1976)
Very lively and engaging illustrations mark the two Aesopic fables included in the six stories here. Both BC and FS are carried out at some length. The pictures help with the words before the story starts.
To Storyland
(Saalfield Publishing Company, 1942)
This big paperbound book on cheap paper includes TMCM in its first half, labelled as An English Tale. Some earlier owner colored a few of the last pictures in the volume.
The World Treasury of Children's Literature.
(Little Brown,, 1984)
One of the loveliest and most comprehensive kids' books I know. Early in the first volume, eight Aesop's fables are presented and one Russian fable, The Fox and the Crane. The versions are from Jacobs and Daly. The ...
