1971 Story Theatre. Adapted for the Stage by Paul Sills. “Of Magical Folk-Rock Fables.” Original Cast Recording. Two-record album.
As I wrote of the book of the same year, we have here among other "Venus and the Cat," "Two Crows," and GGE. The last of these three grows to great proportions in the play. The first has a nice touch: the man throws up and at the end kicks the cat, which has been transformed back into her old shape. "Two Crows" is fun and basic Aesop: the suggester-crow gets the oyster dropped by the other who wants to crack it open.
1995 Story Cards: Aesop's Fables. Compiled by Raymond C. Clark. With Illustrations by Hannah Bonner. Large-format pamphlet. First printing. Printed in USA. Brattleboro, Vermont: Pro Lingua Associates. $14.50 from Pro Lingua Associates, June, '97. Extra copy at the same price from the publisher at the same time.
Here are forty-eight fable cards, four to a page, to tear from the 8½" x 11" book. On the back of each card is the appropriate title and story. The color cartoon work is well done. The whole dead donkey is loaded onto the uncooperative horse (#3). "The Lion and the Fox" (#7) is done in terms of written invitation and written response. I am not sure I remember ever seeing "The Men and the Chameleon" (#38) before. "The Donkey's Brains" (#47) shows the hole in the donkey's head quite graphically! Human dress is ancient. I will also list this under "Fable Cards." I will also include with each copy a copy of the Pro Lingua catalogue for 1997, featuring WC on its cover.
1980? Chinese story‑blocks, including FG, "The Raven and the Swans," WC, "The Wolf in Sheep's Clothing," "The Cat and the Fox," "The War Horse and the Ass."&nbs
This set of 5x4 blocks is similar to the two above, but this set always turns out to be rectangular. Several images are almost identical, but here the image is rectangular. The craftsmanship is again fine! Click on the image here to look at all six pictures.
