Jean de la Fontaine: Fables
(GF-Flammarion, 1995)
I am surprised that I had missed this sturdy 538-page paperback. I am glad to find it now. Besides providing a full text of the fables, it offers more copious notes--ninety pages worth--than the usual paperback edition. ...
The Tortoise and the Hare: A Story of Perseverance
(Chick-fil-A Inc.,Porchlight Entertainment, 2002)
Chick-fil-A presents the booklets with their Kids' Meals as part of their program of Growing Kids Inside and Out. The booklets are meant to teach character. Two of the six booklets in the series are fables, and I have ...
Three Persian Fables
(Design Group, 1970)
This is a book into which some care has gone. It is landscape-formatted with a repeating print on its cover, perhaps showing a royal scene with servants, vines, lotus blossoms, and a story-teller. A new young king meets ...
The King and the Goat: A Jataka Tale
(Dharma Publishing, 1986)
This book is consistent in form and bibliographical data with The Fish King's Power of Truth from the same year. A Naga ruler left his realm and took the shape of a snake. Senaka, the King of Benares, saw some boys abusing ...
Favorite Fables and Fairy Tales
(Bracken Books, 1988)
This child's book seems to overlap extensively with Favorite Fables, done by the same people one year earlier. There is no mention here of Amanda Atha, even though the texts I have checked seem to be identical. The fables ...
LaFontaine Seçme Masallar [Cover: LaFontaine'den Massallar]
(Serhat YSD, 1984)
About this Turkish book I will not be able to write much. Its dust jacket cover features a composite picture of animals involved in La Fontaine's fables. Inside, there is a life of La Fontaine, followed by fables without ...
The Constructional Book of Selected Fables
(W.H.C., 1950)
This book is unusual in my collection in that it has no information--at least that I can find--about the publisher, place, author, or date. It is a sixteen-page stapled pamphlet with each of thirteen pages devoted to one ...
Lehren der Weisheit und Tugend in auserlesenen Fabeln, Erzählungen und Liedern: Ein Buch für die Jugend
(In der J.J. Mäcken'schen Buchhandlung, 1817)
Someone must have found some very useful material in this book, since it went through ten editions! It is organized into three major sections. The first has five subsections: Activity and Industriousness; Moderation and ...
Die Fabeln des Erasmus Alberus: Abdruck der Ausgabe von 1550 mit den Abweichungen der ursprünglichen Fassung
(Max Niemeyer, 1892)
This is a lovely little scholarly book in the best German tradition! Its accomplishment is to reproduce carefully the 1550 edition of Alberus' verse fables. This is a key edition, because a later, second, edition followed ...
The Rabbit and the Turtle
(Wonder Books: Grosset & Dunlap, 1965)
This version of TH has a 66-word vocabulary! The simple, large illustrations--one to a square page--combine brown and gray. The version used here has the rabbit delaying three times: for a nap, a meal, and a conversation ...
