ItemThe Alphabet Series 20032003 ABC Songs, Stories, Fables. The Alphabet Series CD. Platinum Disc Corporation. This disc has two fables, besides its songs and stories, with a steady background of classical music. GA runs 3:11, features a narrator with a non-native English accent, a woman's voice for the ant, and the moral "We should always make plans for the future." TMCM runs 3:21. The two mice are so eager to be off to the city that they do not even finish the country meal. The country mouse runs--from the cook--head-first into the floorboard before she gets into the hole through it. Then the butler scares off the country mouse for good. Moral: "Better to live a simple and peaceful lifestyle rather than one of luxury and peril. Well, kids, sometimes having the best in life has its price." Confused by that moral, kids? 2003 DEF Songs, Stories, Fables. The Alphabet Series CD. Platinum Disc Corporation. $.72 from Mary Anderson, Peyton CO, through Ebay, Jan., '06 This disc has two fables, besides its songs and stories, with a steady background of classical music. They are Tracks 23 and 24. Both feature a narrator with a non-native English accent. "The Farmer And His Sons" (and the bundle of sticks) runs 1:47 and climaxes in the lesson "Working together to get something usually works out best." FG runs 2:27 and emphasizes almost everything in the story. Thus this is a sly old fox, he is very hungry, and he jumps many times. "Sometimes when we cannot get what we want, we pretend that we didn't really want it at all." 2003 GHI Songs, Stories, Fables. The Alphabet Series CD. Platinum Disc Corporation. $.72 from Mary Anderson, Peyton CO, through Ebay, Jan., '06 This disc has two fables, besides its songs and stories, with a steady background of classical music. They are Tracks 21 and 22. The first features a male narrator with a non-native English accent. "The Goat And The Fox" runs 2:04 and starts in medias res. When the goat appears, the fox seizes his opportunity. The fox lets the goat first drink and then ask the question about getting out. The fox laughs as he goes on his way. "You should always look carefully before you do something." TH runs 5:03, uses a female narrator, and has mother tortoise announce the moral as a general lesson to her children early in the story. "There's no place I really want to go, so I have no need to go hurrying," Tortoise says to Hare's taunting. Hare goes to sleep a second time upon seeing that tortoise has not made much progress during his nap. "Slow and steady will get you to your goals." 2003 JKL Songs, Stories, Fables. The Alphabet Series CD. Platinum Disc Corporation. $.72 from Mary Anderson, Peyton CO, through Ebay, Jan., '06 This disc has three fables, besides its songs and stories, with a steady background of classical music. They are Tracks 23, 24, and 25. The first two feature a male narrator with a non-native English accent. "Jupiter And The Monkey" (and the baby contest) runs 2:02. Jupiter starts to giggle when he sees the monkey baby. "I don't care what Jupiter or anyone else thinks. To me you are the most beautiful baby in the world" "Beauty is in the eye of the beholder." "The King Of The Forest" runs 1:26. The lion is ready to go to war and responds to criticism of them that the donkey and the rabbit have their own gifts. "Everyone is special in his or her own way. You just have to discover what you do best." LM runs 3:31 and uses a female narrator with a second voice for the little mouse. The hunters are so happy with capturing a lion that they go off to a long lunch to celebrate. "Sometimes the weak are able to help the strong. Have you ever helped a grownup do something they had trouble doing themselves?" 2003 MNO Songs, Stories, Fables. The Alphabet Series CD. Platinum Disc Corporation. $.72 from Mary Anderson, Peyton CO, through Ebay, Jan., '06 This disc has two fables, besides its songs and stories, with a steady background of classical music. They are Tracks 22 and 23. The first features a male narrator with a non-native English accent. MSA (2:37) has the male narrator imitating various voices along the way. In this version the bridge breaks and the two humans get wet, though the donkey seems to have got away before the bridge broke. I find that version difficult. "You cannot please everyone all the time. Do you best every day and you will please at least one person a day." "Moving Day For The Larks" (2:02) features a female narrator doing chick voices besides her own. The lark family has mother, father, and three little ones. One moment after they move, the farmer comes through with a scythe. "If you want something to get done, sometimes the only way it will get done is if you do it yourself." 2003 PQR Songs, Stories, Fables. The Alphabet Series CD. Platinum Disc Corporation. $.72 from Mary Anderson, Peyton CO, through Ebay, Jan., '06 This disc has two fables, besides its songs and stories, with a steady background of classical music. They are Tracks 20 and 21. Both are narrated by a male narrator with a non-native English accent. "The Peacock And The Crane" (2:43) elaborates the tale that has the peacock mocking the crane's drab color; the peacock has to concede that the crane can fly and sing and that the peacock's purpose is to look beautiful. "Do not judge someone by the way he or she looks. It is what is inside that really matters. You are all special in your own way and give to life your own little gift." "The Popular Hare" (3:38) had been told by many animals that he is their best friend. A branch fell on the poor hare and injured one of his hind legs. He knew that the villagers would be out hunting with their dogs the next day. The narrator moderates his voice for various "friends" of the hare: horse, bull, goat, donkey, ox, bear. The hare returned exhausted to his family that night aware that, though he was popular, true friends will always be there to help when you need them most. 2003 STUV Songs, Stories, Fables. The Alphabet Series CD. Platinum Disc Corporation. $.72 from Mary Anderson, Peyton CO, through Ebay, Jan., '06 This disc has two fables, besides its songs and stories, with a steady background of classical music. They are Tracks 19 and 20. Both are narrated by a male narrator with a non-native English accent. SW (4:04) has an elaborate argument lasting for weeks and causing both the north wind and the sun to neglect their normal duties. The bet is well expressed; it is about "whichever of us can get the coat off of that farmer." The effects of both north wind and sun are described in cosmic terms. "Often it is easier to get what you want by kindness than by force." "The Vain Jackdaw" (2:36) begins with an old jackdaw draped in peacock feathers. He struts about proudly and is mean to his fellow jackdaws. "Stay away" he says to them "or you will damage my beautiful feathers." He leaves his friends confident that the peacocks will accept him. The peacocks are not fooled. His friends, to whom he then goes for comfort, will have nothing to do with him. "You should never be what you are not. Being yourself is always the best." 2003 WXYZ Songs, Stories, Fables. The Alphabet Series CD. Platinum Disc Corporation. $.72 from Mary Anderson, Peyton CO, through Ebay, Jan., '06 This disc has three fables, besides its songs and stories, with a steady background of classical music. They are Tracks 15, 16, and 17. They are narrated by a male narrator with a non-native English accent. "The White Cat And The Imps" (2:37), not really a fable, involves a traveller who has captured a bear and asks to stay in a solitary woodsman's cabin. The latter quickly agrees but mentions that tonight is the night for the trolls' annual banquet in his cabin. During the riotous festivities, one troll feels the bear in the bed in the dark, and soon all the trolls disappear. When they return the next year, they ask about the man's "cat" and hear his response that her seven kittens have grown up in the meantime. Goodbye, trolls! "You should not take advantage of a good-hearted person." "The Wolf in Disguise" (2:14) fools the sheep and the shepherd but waits till dark to grab the fattest sheep he can find. The shepherd comes out early the next morning saying "We want a nice sheep to come to the farmhouse to play with some city children" and picks out this biggest sheep. The wolf runs out of the sheepskin into the dark night. I think this version has to resolve its times. It is unusual in letting the wolf get away alive. "You should not try to fool people, as it may turn around and hurt you." "Yvette's Dream" (2:48) runs through eggs, a goose, sheep, wool, dress, cheeses, a hat, red dancing shoes, a prince, a royal ball, and marriage. For no apparent reason, the jug falls off her head. "There is no harm in daydreaming, but we should reach the first dream before we begin living in the next one. Don't count your chickens before they have hatched." -

ItemThe Aesop Game1935? "The Game of Aesop." Seventeen pairs of cards (text and illustration, respectively), lettered alike A through Q, and one odd card with a picture of Aesop (right). Artcraft? $27 from Karen Kropas, Weymouth, MA, through Ebay, Jan., '00. The text-cards have plain light backing, while the picture-cards have a brown backing. The illustrations are simple and enjoyable. The human face of the lion on "D" is a clue that the illustrations are done after the work of an early artist. The fox on "M" only looks at the grapes. A text card explaining the game is the companion to the card bearing Aesop's portrait. The texts do not seem to come from a version I am aware of. The point of the game is for each contestant to get the most matches between text and picture. The image of "I" has a corner torn off, and the texts of "O" and "Q" show a crease. The cards came with a standard deck of Artcraft cards in an Artcraft box. Who knows whether they are really from Artcraft?! -

ItemThe Adventures of Rocky and Bullwinkle and Friends: The Complete Series2019 The Adventures of Rocky and Bullwinkle and Friends: The Complete Series. 5 seasons, 163 episodes, 18 discs, approximately 59 hours. Includes, in their place in each production, all 50 episodes of "Aesop and Son." Ward Productions. Licensed by Bullwinkle Studios. Universal City, CA. $35.49 from Amazon, Jan., '21. This is a mammoth production! I selected one episode of "Aesop and Son" from each of the five years of the series. "The Mice in Council" features Murphy Mouse, who gets saddled with carrying out his suggestion. After various ploys, he actually gets the cat to put on the bell as a gift from an unknown admirer, but the ice cream vendor's bell confuses Murphy and leads to an attack by the cat. In "The Hares and the Frog," the frog becomes an advisor to the frightened hare: every "top critter" needs a gimmick. The hare's gimmick is wiggling his ears. He overpowers everyone with this gimmick, until he experiences the skunk's "gimmick." Further episodes were "The Jackrabbit and the Coyote"; "The Country Frog and the City Frog"; and "The Jackrabbits and the Mule." Always fun! -

ItemThank-you Rubber Stamp “No act of kindness however small is ever wasted.”2005 Thank-you Rubber Stamp “No act of kindness however small is ever wasted.” Aesop. 2.2" x 2.6". Berkeley, CA: Penny Black, Inc. Source unknown. I remember seeing this in a Bay Area book and card store. This quotation is used frequently. I suspect it comes from either AD or LM, but I do not know in whose translation. There are, in Lloyd Daly’s literal translation of Perry, two similar references, both (296 and 395) dealing with the same story of a farmer who frees an eagle from a snake and is repaid with kindness. 296 has “That those who have a good service at the hands of another should repay the kindness, for the good that you do will be repaid you.” 395 has more simply “Kindness awaits the benefactor.” “The Hen and the Swallow” (192) seems to say the opposite: “So wickedness is not to be overcome no matter how much it is met with kindness.” See also the MM stamp under “Toys and Games.” -
ItemTH: Walt Disney Award Winning Performances2007 TH: Walt Disney Award Winning Performances. 3 of 12. Limited edition of 3000. Made in China. Unknown source. Here is a rather strange conglomeration of elements in another Disney sales campaign. The traditional figures of Toby and Max are as we have come to know them in Disney productions. Here they stand in front of a photo of Walt and have a title suspended beneath them. Mickey stands in front of the title standing on a platform marked "1935." Trees flank and surround the multi-layered composite. Celebrate self-congratulation with a special sale! -
ItemTH wooden two-piece puzzle2020? TH wooden two-piece puzzle. C Westcott. 3.75" tall, 3.5" wide. Unknown source The two figures fit each other well. I am unsure of how the carrot plays in this configuration, when they are either together or separate. Is the hare lying on the tortoise's back and leading him on, as one would a mule with a carrot? I have not been able to identify the "Westcott" artist. -
ItemTH Sipping Cup with Lid1960? TH Sipping Cup with Lid. Plastic. 3.75" high. 3.25" diameter. Unknown source. Now here is a way to introduce children to a fable from the earliest days! I am unsure what is between the two characters under the hare's super-long ears. Plants perhaps? -
ItemTH silk scarf1990? TH silk scarf. Made in Italy. 11½" x 56". Where and when? The tortoise and hare can be very hard to make out. I offer an enlarged detail below. Is a scarf this long and narrow usual?
