Dichos de Bichos: Fábulas en Verso.
(Ediciones Paulinas, 1987)
My kind of a fable book. Fr. Bojorge has fun with the fables, whether adapting, expanding, or commenting. So far I have read Book I (of III). The Spanish seems highly idiomatic. In the best story in Book I, rats nest ...
De Fabeltjeskrant
(N.V. Uitgererij de Spaarnestad, 1970)
Three stories presented through text and photographs of puppets seen on a TV series. The first two are Aesopic: The Flying Tortoise and The Hare and the Frog. The third story seems to be about hamsters in winter. ...
Fábulas para Siempre: Fables Are Forever, Volume 1.
(Pan American Publishing Co., 1991)
This book presents a fascinating experience of the melting pot of fables as they are spun out and updated. Sauvageau mentions that he cannot remember where he got changes from the fables he read as a child. CP adds ...
The Picture Treasury of World Fables 1
(Shandong Friendship Press, 1989)
Here is the first volume of an ambitious set of five. This comprehensive presentation is quite an undertaking! This Book One covers Aesop, Phaedrus, and Sadi. It offers some 84 fables on 368 pages. There is an English ...
Fabeln und Parabeln von Äsop bis Brecht.
(Insel-Verlag, 1961)
A hidden treasure sitting in the Collectible section of a favorite bookstore. In the midst of a delightfully broad and understandably heavily German spectrum of fabulists, I find the selection here surprising. Aesop ...
The Hare and the Tortoise and The Tortoise and the Hare/La Liebre y la Tortuga and La Tortuga y la Liebre.
(Doubleday, 1972)
One of the most imaginative books I have found in a while, sitting on the floor of a wonderful basement full of kids' books. Barbara Yoffee, who showed me many books, rejoiced with me in my very own find. Bilingual on ...
David Fable Books No 1
(Thorsons Publishers Ltd., 1943)
There are five stories in this book. I ordered this one for the collection because of the title of the first: The Story of Anna, Buddy, and the Country Mouse. That story is utterly charming, together with its colored ...
Fables
(Houghton Mifflin, 1989)
This large-format pamphlet includes nine fables from Aesop, two from La Fontaine, one from Lobel, and four from Ginsburg. All but the last four have full-page color illustrations. Ginsburg's four stories are apparently ...
The Picture Treasury of World Fables 2
(Shandong Friendship Press, 1989)
Here is the second volume of an ambitious set of five. This comprehensive presentation is quite an undertaking! This Book Two covers fables by Krylov and Schedrin and other fable writers from the Soviet Union, Romania, ...
La cigarra y la hormiga y otros cuentos.
(Editorial Ramon Sopena, 1983)
Three fables and two stories with big, good art. The title story is fine. The ant carries a basket of grains. The grasshopper (Jiminy Cricket?) plays the violin. He acts like a rude, crazy child. Lovely illustrations, ...
