Three Hundred and Fifty Aesop's Fables
(Donohue Henneberry & Co.,, 1885)
I have a copy of this book from Keith Pajot of Renaissance, which I found in 1990. Now, twenty-one years later, I find another copy. I am trying to keep any book in the collection which has the slightest difference from ...
Three Hundred Aesop's Fables
(George Routledge and Sons, 1885)
This copy is nearly identical with one I had found at Bargain Bookstore, San Diego, in 1993. As I note there, many other versions have 50, not 114, illustrations. Unlike some similar versions from Routledge, this -- like ...
The Christian Aesop: Ancient Fables Teaching Eternal Truths
(Burns, Oates, and Company/KessingerKessinger Publishing, 1871)
This book is a delightful find that I just looked at in a Kripke Conference paper. For each of fifty fables, Anderdon adds to the usual narrative and illustration a short spiritual teaching and scripture quotation. Then ...
Some of Aesop's Fables with Modern Instances.
(MacMillan and Co., 1883)
Compare with my copy of MacMillan's first American edition of the same year. Blackwell's salespeople were unaware that they had this book, and I discovered it just as the store was about to close. By comparison with the ...
The Fables of Aesop and Others with Designs on Wood
(D. Appleton & Company, 1818)
Note that this is a reprint of Bewick's later Aesopic work, not the Select Fables of 1776/1784. Comparison of this work with the 1975 Paddington reprint of the 1818 edition raises questions: this one is smaller and shows ...
Aesop's Fables: The Holland Edition of 1659
(The Halford Sauce Company, 1897)
As often happens, something I had never seen before has reappeared within six months. And as often happens, I thought I was buying a second copy of exactly the same booklet I already had. It turns out that this is the ...
Some of Aesop's Fables with Modern Instances
(MacMillan and Co., 1883)
The engravings of Caldecott's drawings are here of course in black-and-white, and they are excellent! I just showed a number of these in class yesterday! A wonderful addition to the collection. By comparison with the ...
Aesop's Fables: A New Version, Chiefly from Original Sources
(Henry T. Coates, 1848)
This book is interiorly identical with an edition I have listed under 1848/1880? and purchased from Laurie. Its differences from that volume include slightly smaller pages, poorer printing, the change from Porter and ...
The Fables of Aesop: Selected, told anew and their history traced by Joseph Jacobs
(Pathfinder Publishing Co., 1894)
This small (4½ x 6½) edition shares several curious features with the other five like it in format: Home Book Company 1894/95? (plain tan cover with title); Montgomery Ward 1894/98 (La Belle Library on cover); Caldwell ...
Fables: Aesop
(H.M. Caldwell Company, 1894)
