El Cuervo y la Zorra
(Ediciones A. Saldaña, 1999)
"Once again, things come together from different times and places. In Salamanca in 1986, I found a simple pop-up from a publisher I did not know. Sixteen years later I found a French die-cut presentation of LM done by ...
Andy and the Lion
(Trumpet Club, 1938)
Here is a copy of the second printing. As I mentioned of the first, this paperback edition is smaller than the Viking Penguin Puffin printed in 1989. This copy is in better condition than my copy of the first printing.
The Town Mouse and the Country Mouse: An Aesop Fable
(Rand McNally & Company, 1973)
I thought I had this book, and was wrong again! In fact, it is a copy of the much larger book of the same year from the same company. Where that book was 8 x 10¼, this little book is 4¾ x 6½. This book needs thinner ...
Dame Cigale et Dame Fourmi
(Kenworthy Educational Service, 1970)
This book is exactly identical with the pamphlet version of the same year, title, and publisher. I do not know whether the Perma-Bound hard cover comes from the publisher or perhaps from some librarian. In any case, the ...
The Grasshopper and the Ants
(Walt Disney ProductionsWestern Publishing Company, 1968)
This booklet-plus-record from Valencia Street in San Francisco is tantalizingly similar to one already in the collection, found at Old Bank Antiques in Hastings nineteen years ago. Let me catalogue the differences. The ...
Leonardo el León y Ramon el Ratón/Leonard the Lion and Raymond the Mouse.
(National Textbook Company, 1978)
Here is an earlier version of a book for which I also have the 1990 printing. I will keep both in the collection. Well told, with simple but lively illustrations. The distinctive feature of this series is that near-identical ...
La lechera y su cubeta/The milkmaid and her pail
(National Textbook Company, 1977)
I already have in the collection a copy of the 1979 printing of this book. It has no writing on its spine. This 1990 version takes care of that problem, changes the printing venue from the USA to Hong Kong, and makes minor ...
The Boy Who Cried Wolf
(NTC Publishing GroupPassport Books, 1990)
See the Oxford edition of 1981, a smaller pamphlet with poorer runs of the illustrations. See my comments there. Originally published in 1979. The series is also identified as Passport StoryLand Books.
The Tortoise and the Jackrabbit/La Tortuga y la Liebre
(Luna Rising: Rising Moon, 2011)
Northland Publishing published this book -- mine is in hardbound form -- in 1994. Apparently they also copyrighted a Spanish translation in 2004. Might that have been a hardbound edition? The present paperback was ...
The Boy Who Cried Wolf
(Andersen Press Ltd., 2008)
This is a bigger version of the book Ross first did in 1985. My copy comes from 1981. Not only the size, the publisher, and the place of printing have changed. But the feature character, Willy there, has now become ...
