Three Hundred Aesop's Fables: Illustrated Facsimile Edition
(Wildside Press LLC, 1885)
Here is a recent print upon demand copy of Townsend's famous edition, with a lively cartoon LM illustration on the cover. This copy does an excellent job with the Weir illustrations. There is little inside the book to ...
Aesop's Fables in French
(Leypoldt & Holt, 1869)
This book reproduces the 1864 version published by Henry Holt. I do not detect any changes from that edition. Let me offer some of my comments from there. The advertisement following the title page claims that Aesop is ...
Aesop's Fables
(Cassell, Petter, and Galpin, 1873)
This is my third and perhaps best copy of the second edition of this lovely book. Its first distinguishing mark is its unusual cover, which marks it off not only from my other two second editions but also from my first ...
Book 1: Fables and Rhymes: Aesop and Mother Goose
(American Book Company, 1898)
It seems that this schoolbook has eluded me until now. Thirty-three fables are mixed in among the fifty-one stories here on 96 pages. They receive illustrations of various sorts. Several are signed B.C. and others L.F.P. ...
Aesop's Fables for the Instruction and Improvement of Youth
(John McGowanPrinted by John M'Gowan, 1838)
This is one of the fattest little (4¼ x 5½) books I have. It is really two volumes bound together, both dated to the same year on their title pages. Each volume has a T of C at its beginning. The first volume has one ...
Aesop's Fables
(J. B. Lippincott & Co., 1873)
This little book in only fair condition seems to reproduce the 1873 version published by Strahan. Like that earlier version from a different publisher, this little book has a green-and-gold embossed cover. The plates are ...
Aesop's Fables
(Collins & Brother, 1848)
Beautiful embossed covers; some staining on pages; weak binding. Browned paper hurts the illustrations. Not the original James/Tenniel edition published by John Murray in London and including over one hundred illustrations, ...
Three Hundred Aesop's Fables
(George Routledge and Sons, 1885)
My, how the late nineteenth century pumped out the Aesops! This one differs from my two other Three Hundred versions by using only fifty of Weir's illustrations (very well done here) and acknowledging that he did them. ...
Fables from Aesop and Myths from Palaephatus with a vocabulary
(Longmans, Green, and Co./Kessinger Publishing's Legacy Reprints, 1876)
Here is a late nineteenth-century textbook that probably seems curious to us. There are eighteen Aesopic fables in simple Greek prose. Then there are ten mythological stories. After that there is only a vocabulary. ...
The Baby's Own Aesop
(George Routledge and Sons, 1887)
At last I have the Routledge first edition. How wonderful! The colors are excellent. The early pages are a delight, featuring, e.g., owls with spectacles on the title page. The illustrations are differently colored and ...
