Aesop's Fables
(Andersen Press, 2010)
Fiona Waters, I am learning, is a prominent creator of children's books; she has produced some eight of them! She and Fulvio Testa have combined to make a very good fable book here. Testa's style remains similar to the ...
Aesop's Fables
(Meadowside Children's Books, 2006)
This book is big and dramatic! It will appeal to children by its helpful introductions of the characters, e.g., A story about a not very nice hare and a pretty slow tortoise. I think one could best call the art primitive. ...
Aesop: Fables
(Del Prado, 2004)
This is an impressively bound little volume of 638 pages. By my count, it contains some 322 fables in black print with maroon titles. Del Prado is known for its series of classics. There is a T of C at the back covering ...
Aesop's Fables
(Barnes & Noble BooksBarnes & Noble Classics, 2005)
Barnes & Noble Classics apparently first published this book in 2003, perhaps in paperback. At first I thought this just another reprint -- and there have been many -- of Jones and Rackham's 1912 Heineman edition. This ...
The Ant and the Grasshopper & Other Stories
(B. Jain PublishersPegasus B. Jain, 2010)
There are four fables in this 16-page, large-format (almost 8½ x 11) booklet. After GA, the booklet offers The Ass and his Masters, TB, and CV. Each story has four pages. In GA, the grasshopper only sees the ants happily ...
Mille Fabulae et Una: 1001 Aesop's Fables in Latin
(Lulu Publishers, 2010)
My hat is off to Laura for producing this lovely book. There is one -- one! -- page that stands between the reader and the beginning of enjoying the 1001 Latin fables. This page gives the reader what she or he needs to ...
Aesop's Fables
(Pavilion Children's Books: Avona Books Company, 2009)
This new Aesop is big and bold. Its cover has the texture of leather. Its art is made chiefly of ink-blots skillfully rendered as various creatures. Among the best of the illustrations are the peacock on 16, FG on 22, ...
Aesop's Fables with Scripture References
(Living Books Press, 2007)
Here is a fascinating concept. Many of the fables in the Vernon Jones/Rackham edition are matched with some one or two scriptural phrases. I am not sure whether to rejoice or to cry! I regret that Rackham is represented ...
Aisopose Valmid
(Tartu Ülikooli Kirjastus, 2005)
358 fables in a book of some 189 pages. The bibliography at the end includes Laura Gibbs' edition of 2002. It is followed by a T of C. This is a beautifully manufactured book! Urmas Nemvalts does sixteen lively ...
After Aesop: Improvisations on Aesop's Fables
(Hamilton Books: Rowman & Littlefield Publishing Group, 2010)
True to the character of this book, I will say that it provides me a learning experience. First, I bought the book from an Australian dealer because I could not find it here in the USA. Now I see that Amazon is selling ...
