The Tortoise and the Hare
(Whitmanprinted in the U.S.A. by Western Printing and Lithographing Company, 1963)
In the same series with my 1961 The Lion and the Mouse, though this book has the added distinction that its rabbit is fuzzy, on the cover and all the way through the book. After the initial encounter, King Lion commanded ...
Aesop's Fables
(Blue Ribbon BooksHarper & Brothers, 1927)
I presume this is the knock-off version of my adjacent copy of the Harper first edition. This edition has GA on its yellow cover. The only substantial difference here seems to be that the book's spine (but not its ...
Aesop's Fables
(Reading Disability Clinic, 1970)
This is a curious and delightful find. It is a landscape book about 8½ x 5½ with about half of its spiral binding intact. Another piece of the binding fell away as I was working with this book. I cannot find an indication ...
The Book of Fables: Containing Aesop's Fables.
(Mershon, 1920)
Closest to the 1901? and 1902? Lupton editions with the same title. See my comments there. Except for the title page and cover, the books seem identical. Like those, this book has no illustrations. In fact, this book ...
The Fables of Aesop Selected and Told Anew
(DeWolfe Fiske & Co.,, 1910)
Here is yet another reprinting of Jacobs and Heighway. This book (5¼ x 6¾) adds several features that I think I have not yet found in a Jacobs/Heighway edition. First it uses the curious phrase Profusely Illustrated on ...
Ezop: Hain Kurt
(Cocuk BahcesiOda, 1991)
This is an unassuming paperback edition of Aesop's fables. Fables are offered on 5 to 69, followed by a list of the classic works published by these people. The black-and-white designs are decidedly simple. Where did ...
The Donkey and the Lapdog
(Ginn and Company, 1984)
This is an engaging sixteen-page pamphlet with stiff covers. Biro's best illustration here may be the double-page centerfold showing the dog in the master's lap and the donkey looking in enviously through the window. In ...
The Farmer and His Sons
(Ginn and Company, 1984)
This is an engaging sixteen-page pamphlet with stiff covers. Biro's best illustration here may be the double-size picture at the centerfold: the boys run to the field, each with a different dream of treasure pictured in ...
The Man, His Son, and the Ass
(Ginn and Company, 1984)
This is an engaging sixteen-page pamphlet with stiff covers. Two things are of note in this delightful rendition of the traditional story. First, the upside-down expression of the ass being carried on the pole is worth ...
The Ducks and the Tortoise
(Ginn and Company Ltd, 1984)
This is an engaging eight-page pamphlet with stiff covers. The tortoise's downfall here comes when he says to the amazed people Look, I can fly! The only report of what happened next is: Thump! Now I have found five of ...
