- Abstract
- en_US This is the sixth version I have found of Lisbeth Zwerger's Aesop book. Her Aesop: 12 Fabeln appeared in 1989 as a large-format book. Two large English versions also appeared, apparently at the same time. There has been also a smaller English version and an even smaller German version. Cover pictures on other versions are either of the dancing camel or of TMCM. Here we have FC on both the cover and the front dust-jacket. This lovely book measures 9½ x 8¾. I still find Zwerger's artistry enchanting. I cannot check the various English translations right now. I am curious because the translation here, unattributed, is copyrighted by North-South Books in 2006. The dust jacket speaks of this book as a reissue of Lisbeth Zwerger's gorgeously illustrated edition. The back cover and back dust-jacket both put at the top 12 Fables by Aesop, the original German title.
