Some ask where the original files for the books used to create this collection are located. This post contains links to those files. The request usually comes in the form of a question about using the text and/or illustrations on this site in some other collection.
In general, using the pages on this site would be a copyright violation even though the material comes from the public domain. The editing of the original works and reformatting allows this collection to be copyright. Therefore, if you desire to make your own collection for some reason we strongly suggest using the original files to create that collection. This instruction particularly applies to the images on the site.
To help, the links below will take you to electronic versions of the various fable translations used on this site to the extent they could be found years after the originals were found by me.
