I would love to find what I recall was a hard-cover book full of beautifully illustrated fables (a collection). I had it as a little girl in the 1970's. I believe it had a light greenish blue cover. There was a fable inside about a little girl and Mt. Fuji. Maybe the title had the words Classic Fables or Collection. I recall other fables, some Aesops, so I'm thinking it may have been classic fables from around the world? Hmmm... unfortunately, I don't remember much else. Anyone?
