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 Miller, the Boy and the Donkey
(Oxford University Press, 1969)
See my comment on the hardback copy.
The Lion and the Rat: A Fable by La Fontaine
(Franklin Watts, 1963)
I presumed that I already had a copy of this book but could use a good copy. To my surprise, I have two unusual copies -- a library binding and a paperback -- but not a normal copy. This book was first sold by I. Magnin, ...
The Hare and the Tortoise
(Oxford University Press, 1966)
Lively pictures in the Wildsmith style. The story is much expanded (even from la Fontaine): the fox and the owl debate, and the rooster starts the race. I could well use a picture or two from this edition. See 1982/85 ...
The Rich Man and the Shoe-maker: A Fable by La Fontaine.
(Oxford Univ. Pr.Oxford University Press, 1965)
A beautiful large-format hardbound book in excellent condition. The version used here departs significantly from LaFontaine's text. This version adds--and puts special emphasis on--the children who come out to listen to ...
The North Wind and the Sun: A Fable by La Fontaine.
(Oxford University Press, 1964)
This book differs from the original hardbound version in lacking a dust jacket. What was the dust jacket there has now become the cover here. The publisher has changed from Franklin Watts to Oxford, the place of publication ...
The Rich Man and the Shoe-maker: A Fable by La Fontaine.
(Franklin Watts, 1966)
See the original publication of this book by Oxford University Press in 1965 and my comments there. These copies belonged to a library and received extensive use. Some pages have been torn and wrinkled. I will keep both ...
The Lion and the Rat: A Fable by La Fontaine.
(Franklin Watts, 1963)
Here is another case where I got a backup copy only to discover that I had only the paperback (1963/86). See my comments there.
Le Loup et le Chien
(Ediciones A. Saldaña; Albo Delmar Import-Export, 1984)
Here is an interesting case of things coming 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 ...
The Cricket and the Ant: Fable by de La Fontaine.
(Grandreams Ltd., 1986)
The book builds off of a fascinating concept: a second, longer story echoes the lesson of the fable. Here the fairy Elvira is sad over enjoy now Pixie Redbeard, angry with him, and deaf to his request. I could not ...
