2000 Fábulas CD 2. For use with Fábulas Con Compact Disc. Barcelona: Oceano Multimedia; Oceano Grup Editorial. $22.40 for the book and two CD's from amazon.com, Feb., '03.
There are thirteen fables here, running from two to four minutes each. Like its twin, this CD provides a nice musical approach to the stories, "las mejores fábulas de todos los tiempos." They offer good dramatic voices for the characters. A short flute-melody marks the time to turn the page. The understanding of "fable" is broad here, and so the collection includes "The Pied Piper of Hamlin" and "La Yerba Mate." Stories I cannot recognize include "Boca Ancha," "La Sirenita," and "El Viento Zonda."

2013? Faboland Nordia Single-Character Fèves Complete Set of 5 Pairs. Aff 110.05. €14 from Faboland through Ebay, Sept., '20.
This set of fable fèves is unusual for offering only single characters paired with each other for five fables: FC, LM, TH, OF, and GA.. Better than usual facial detail. The cigale's sunglasses are excellent!
2012? Complete Series of 10 Faboland Fable Fèves. "Bonjour Maitre de La Fontaine." Aff 81.00. €10 from Faboland through Ebay, Sept., '20.A similar set earlier for €8.80 from Nathalie Majka, Monchy Saint Eloi, France, through Ebay, July, '04.
This is another successful set of fable fèves. Spatial proportions are sometimes compromised here, e.g. in OF, but overall the series is quite successful. Among the best pieces, I believe, are "The Wolf Turned Shepherd"; MSA; and GGE.
