Aesop's Fables for Modern Readers
(Peter Pauper Press, 1941)
My, Peter Pauper Press has been busy getting mileage from their 1941 edition. This one is smaller in format, has sixty-one instead of ninety pages, and contains ninety-six of the 122 fables and almost all of the twenty ...
Who Was Aesop? Aesop's Fables
(Graphic Educational Productions Inc., 1946)
This book is identical with another in the collection with this difference: it has a spiral binding rather than a canvas binding. It also lacks the 78-rpm record. The first-page is detached from the spiral binding but ...
Aesop's Fables (yellow cover)
(The Heritage Press, 1941)
This new edition has undergone a few changes, some of which might at first escape notice. We have a new yellow cover featuring the mice of TMCM in mirror-opposite poses on the front and back. The full-page illustrations ...
Little Folk's Fables from Aesop
(McLoughlin Brothers, 1940)
Here is an even cleaner copy of a slightly different version of a book already in the collection. The back cover there pictured various fairy tale characters with some information at its center. Here the background is ...
Aesop's Fables in a New Translation for Modern Readers.
(Peter Pauper Press, 1941)
Very nice copies of Bewick's work in a book in very good condition. AI at the back; no list of illustrations. The illustrations on the cover curiously include two (WL, FS) not used in the book, and at least one used in ...
Aesop's Fables for Young People

About 240 fables are arranged in alphabetical order, each with an italicized moral at the end. Thus we go from Aesop Plays to Young Mole and Her Mother. There are about twelve black-and-white illustrations of an ...
Aesop's Fables (brown)
(Heritage Press, 1941)
The interior of this book seems identical with that of the boxed yellow version from the same publisher in the same year, except that the T of C gives 126 for 124 and is off by two pages for the rest of its listings. This ...
Aesop's Fables
(Dainippon Yuubenkai KodanshaK¿dansha, 1949)
This traditional Japanese book features a lion, rabbit, and stag on its Japanese front-cover. Inside it has close to eighty fables, with plenty of lively cartoons to accompany them. Notice, e.g., the fox and goat on the ...
Aesop: Fabeln
(Dr. Ernst Hauswedell & Co. Verlag, 1949)
This is a valuable little book. It had better be at the prices I paid for both copies! First, it presents a rare vernacular version of Romulus. There are eighty-six fables here on 92 pages, including an untitled last ...
L'Esopo Moderno: Quattrocentotrenta Favole
(Vallecchi Editore, 1940)
The 430 fables are numbered in the T of C at the back. Pancrazi writes a Poscritto 1940 after his original Invito all'Esopo dated in 1930. The only thing I can find on Pancrazi so far is his life span, 1893-1953. The ...
