Aesop's Fables
(Cassell Petter, and Galpin,, 1869)
It looks to me as though I have had a great piece of luck and have here a first edition of this work that would be so often reprinted. All the data square with Bodemann #344.1, including the lack of a printed date. The ...
Aesop's Fables
(Cassell & Company Limited,, 1890)
This book is internally identical with the Cassell and Company volume which I have listed under 1893/93? I am no longer certain that 1893 was the original date for this edition. This book is distinguished from that one ...
Three Hundred Aesop's Fables
(George Routledge and Sons, 1885)
Once again I bought a book that I thought I had already, and it turns out to be different. In this case, this book is very much like two others that I already have. All share the same publisher, title-page, and printing ...
Aesop's Fables. 2 in 1 Tales. The Lion and the Mouse/The Wind and the Sun.
(Modern Publishing: Unisystems, Inc., 1994)
Here is a new presentation of the same art that Hirata used in 1989 for his Joie set. The art here is certainly superior in presentation to the Peter Haddock series (1989?). It is darker than Joie's art, sometimes stronger ...
Aesop's Fables: A New Revised Version From Original Sources.
(Syndicate Trading Company, 1884)
This book reproduces almost identically the book published the same year by William Allison Company. It has the same misspelling of Weir's name on the title-page. This book adds R. Worthington under Copyright 1884 on the ...
Aesop's Fables
(Boston: Lee and Shepard/NY: Charles T. Dillingham, 1878)
This book seems exactly identical, except for its cover, with the 1882 printing. As I note there, this printing is among the more serious Griset editions. It is also one of the few that names Rundell; others give only ...
Aesop's Fables, with 100 Illustrations
(J.B. Lippincott, 1916)
At last I am delighted to get back to a first edition of this important work. Mary Keane's gift of a second edition (1916/17) got me going; see my comments there. In fact, I had just finished an extensive review of that ...
The Fables of Aesop Based on the Texts of L'Estrange and Croxall (smaller format: 5¼x 6¾)
(Thomas Y. Crowell Company, 1903)
This book is to a large extent identical with the one from the same publisher that I have listed under 1910? The selection and placement of illustrations seem to be slightly different (though in both cases from Billinghurst). ...
The Fables of Aesop Based on the Texts of L'Estrange and Croxall (larger format: 5½x 7½)
(Thomas Y. Crowell Company, 1903)
These two books use the identical plates used to make the smaller format book published by Crowell in the same year. Thus they have 230 pages and 330 fables. See my comments there. These books have a slightly larger ...
Fables of Aesop and Others with Instructive Applications.
(Allen Brothers, 1870)
This book is identical with the two Miller editions of the same title and size, which I list under 1865 and 1890? See my comments there. This has the same markings embossed on its covers as the 1865 Miller book, though ...
