Fairy Tales from Around the World

Description

2012 Fairy Tales from Around the World. DVD? Phoenix E-Books UK. 206 books, each with its own pdf showing each book from cover to cover. Plus two further sections on the books of various colors by Andrew Lang and a set of Japanese tales. Unknown source.

It has taken me a long time to get to cataloguing this unassuming disc. The long wait has only reinforced my surprise at finding the immense treasure-house here! From the fable world, I find at least four important books. First is "An Argosy of Fables" by Frederic Taber Cooper in 1921 with colored illustrations by Paul Bransom. Next is Percy Billinghurst's "A Hundred Fables of La Fontaine" from 1898. Then there is a version of Benjamin Rabier's presentation of La Fontaine in French, featuring some fully-colored and some duochrome illustrations. Finally there is Fredk. Colin Tilney's "The Original Fables of La Fontaine" from 1913. Do not judge a book – or a disc – by its cover!
