The Greedy Dog and other stories from Aesop
(World Distributors Ltd., 1971)
This large-format book presents seven fables with large, even splashy illustrations. I have never seen a cat the color of the cat pictured for BC! FG has a positive moral: There is comfort in pretending that what we can't ...
The Danish Aesop: 59 of the old animal fables
(Hans Reitzel, 1961)
Here is the paperbound version of the great book I had found a year and a half earlier. See my extensive comments there. I find no difference between the two except in the binding. This copy is in better condition than that.
Fables d'Ésope
(A l'Enseigne du Pot CassePubliée sous la direction de Constantin Castera, 1934)
This is the sort of book for which this collection exists! At first it looks like nothing more than a beaten-up old paperback, remarkable perhaps for the fox who scratches his head on the cover while the stork eats out ...
The Monthly Magazine of the Junior Heritage Club
(The Junior Heritage Club: The Heritage Press, 1946)
Here is a pamphlet helping to market the Leaf and Lawson version of Aesop's Fables. It has three sections on, respectively, Aesop, Lawson, and Leaf. The writer of the first is G.M., while the second and third are ...
Fábulas de Esopo
(Editorial Everest, S.A., 1996)
I have several different editions of this book in English. I am surprised that it took so long for this popular edition to get into Spanish. My favorite images are still FG and the untitled last image of the fox on 32. ...
The Very Greedy Dog
(Dominie Press, 1999)
I am surprised that I have never run into this series of ten books before. I wrote the publisher yesterday to ask about the set. Sixteen pages. This version starts with a farmer giving a dog meat and the greedy dog ...
The Hare and the Tortoise
(Dominie Press, Inc., 1999)
Here is the seventh book listed in this series of ten, the second book that I have found thus far. It has about twice the number of words as the other volume, The Very Greedy Dog. There are 587 words here to 228 there. ...
Aesop's Fables
(Colorgravure Publications, 1955)
Eighty-four fables with pleasant black-and-white cartoons. Aesop, with a crutch, appears frequently in five or six repeated poses after fables. There are several good, pithy morals here, e.g. for The Angler and the Little ...
Aesop's Fables
(Instructional Fair/TS Denison, 1996)
This is an 8½ x 11 teacher resource with pages to be duplicated for students. The booklet proposes a variety of activities to be used with twelve fables. The activities include puppet production, comparison of city and ...
Aesop's Fables
(Colorgravure Publications, 1955)
This book replicates a book of the same title by the same publisher in the same year in all ways except that on its title-page it here has A Sun Classic where it there has A Courier-Mail Classic. The fact that I ordered ...
