Aesop's Fables (Chinese)
(Shan bian chu ban sheSunbeam Publications, 1989)
There are several curious features about this lovely paperback gift that Andreas brought back from Hong Kong. The first, of course, is that there are about ten words of English in the whole book! The second is that there ...
The Fables of Aesop
(Books Inc.,, 1930)
Here is a book interiorly very close to another Art-Type version for which I have also guessed a date of 1930. This copy has a green cloth cover instead of the brown-and-blue faux grain of the first copy. It has no ...
Aesop's Fables
(J.B. Lippincott Company, 1949)
There is a copy of this book in better condition already in the collection. I add this book to the collection because of its two differences. First, it uses a different kind of paper, whiter and of a different texture. ...

(Les Fermiers Généraux: Editions du CapÉditions du Cap, 1956)
This is a beautifully produced book which I look forward to working with as I learn more about Julien Macho's role in bringing Steinhöwel's edition to people like Caxton. The initials are in red, as are several of the ...

(Éditions Corentin, 1995)
This is a tight little book, 6 x 7¾. It contains eighty-six of Aesop's fables drawn from either Chambry's 1927 translation or a version done by Hachette in 1913 without attribution to an author. To go with those texts ...
Die Schildkröte und der Hase
(Xenos Verlagsgesellschaft, 1998)
A stop in Wolfenbüttel to find a banana across from the train stop yielded this booklet and a parallel little volume! It seems not to be related to the one other sound-making fable book I am aware of having, The Tortoise ...
Aesop's (Oh So Slightly) Updated Fables
(Baker's Plays, 1998)
Here are six fables as engaging contemporary plays. In each case the drama takes a playful approach to the fable. Thus DS can engage in good irony when it has the narrator speak of the butcher trying to have a sincere ...
Aesop's Fables
(Dan Celani, 1990)
Here is a sixteen-page pamphlet about 5 x 7 offering sixteen fables in a nicely printed little version. The texts are taken from 19th century publications. SW (6) is told in the poorer version. An inserted note tells ...
Fables (Polish)
(Unia Wydawnicza Verum, 1996)
This very sturdy and attractive book offers an excellent collection of fables from across history, with a good eye for those closest to Poles. The book works chronologically. While most of the illustrations, even for ...
