Aesop's Fables in Words of One Syllable
(James Miller, 1879)
This book largely replicates the first edition of Godolphin's book by James Miller in 1869. See my comments there. Some things have changed. Miller's address has changed from 647 to 799 Broadway. The cover has changed ...
Aesop's Fables in Words of One Syllable
(James Miller Publisher,, 1869)
At long last I have worked my way back to a first edition of this important book. It is inscribed in 1879. I believe I have the book as done now by six different publishers. Blue cloth with gilt, including a lovely ...
Choix de Fables d'Ésope
(Librairie Classique Eugène BelinLibrairie Classique d'Eugène Belin, 1882)
Here is a handy little volume from the late nineteenth century in Paris. First there are forty fables in Greek, each with an epimythium and plenty of footnotes. After that come forty fables of La Fontaine that imitate ...
The Baby's Own Aesop
(Frederick Warne and Co., 1887)
I went crazy when I first found this! Now see my comments on the more original Routledge edition of the same year. Copy A for $60 from Laurie in November of 1992 is in better condition. Copy B for $40 from Green Apple ...
Aesop's Fables
(Robert B. Collins, 1848)
Here is yet a third version of what may be the first American edition of the Tenniel and James book. Earlier I had found versions with black and red embossed covers. This version has a plainer brown cloth cover. Only ...
The Fables of Aesop
(Three Sirens Press, 1857)
This book is identical in all but cover with the boxed edition I have also listed under 1857/1933 published by Three Sirens. This copy has a brown-to-maroon cover and lists Palace Edition on the spine--but nowhere else. ...
The Fables of Aesop
(Three Sirens Press, 1857)
This book is very closely related to the boxed white-cover version by the same publisher in the same year, but it has a dark gray cover with a blue fox and blue grapes. It also has a blue background for the title on the ...
Fables of Aesop and others
(T.O.H.P. Burnham, 1863)
The engravings in the copy from Titles are especially well done. Besides the alphabetical T of C at the beginning, there is an index of subjects at the end. It refers mostly to the virtues inculcated in the longish ...
Aesop's Fables in French
(Henry HoltSchönhof & Moller, 1864)
Wonderful treasures! The advertisement following the title page claims that Aesop is the usual first book for learning French. LaFontaine is not mentioned; the French of the fables is taken from the Latin of Abbé Paul. ...
Aesop's Fables Illustrated
(Samuel R. Wells, 1870)
AI at the beginning and a list of illustrations. Tenniel's illustrations are wonderful; they are best, though not terribly distinct, in the coverless copy. Both books with covers are falling apart. Fortunately, the ...
