Here is an extra copy of this book. It is missing the title-page and early pages. Also lacking are three of the four illustrations and the last two pages of text. The covers and spine have been rebuilt. I wrote what ...

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 ...

A curious book containing one hundred fables. The introduction gives a key: following Robert Louis Stevenson--second only to Aesop in representation here--the collector finds that the key to fable is its suggestiveness ...
