Aesop's Fables: The Fox and the Grapes
(Parragon: The Complete Works, 2001)

This is a derivative version--shorter and no doubt cheaper--of Rountree's works from The Children's Press (1922?) and Collins' Clear-Type Press (1922?). This book has only twenty fables, no colored illustrations, and a ...
