Aesop's Fables. An Anthology of the Fabulists of All Countries. Dutton spine
(London: J.M. Dent/NY: E.P. Dutton, 1913)
The format of this book's cover is different from the three copies I have of the first printing. Like them, it has no printing date on the back of the title-page. All later printings seem to have such. It shares with ...
Aesop's Fables
(John C. Winston, 1928)
This book is almost exactly identical with another found at Brattle Books. The only difference between the two copies is the series listing on the back of the title page: that book shows The Child's Garden of Charming ...
The Monthly Magazine of the Junior Heritage Club
(The Junior Heritage Club: The Heritage Press, 1946)
Here is a pamphlet helping to market the Leaf and Lawson version of Aesop's Fables. It has three sections on, respectively, Aesop, Lawson, and Leaf. The writer of the first is G.M., while the second and third are ...
A Kaleidoscope of Fairies & Fables
(Hamlyn, 1988)
See the 1983 Aesop's Fables done by the same people and published by Silver Burdett. Silver Burdett had the book then from Hamlyn, who had the copyright. Here Hamlyn cleverly uses the same materials again, as they had ...
Story Cards: Aesop's Fables
(Pro Lingua Associates, 1995)
Here are forty-eight fable cards, four to a page, to tear from the 8½ x 11 book. On the back of each card is the appropriate title and story. The color cartoon work is well done. The whole dead donkey is loaded onto the ...
Aesop's Fables
(Henry Holt and Company, 1999)
See my comments on the original hardbound edition in 1985. This paperbound book reproduces it very well. I notice a much different color resolution in the first fable illustration, TMCM (1). The picture has become darker ...
Aesop's Fables
(Rand McNally & Company, 1956)
I have worked my way back to a first edition of this extra-large-format book. The illustrations are bright! The spine is disintegrating. See my 1956/59 edition and the undersized 1952 book by the same people with the ...
Famous Stories from Aesop's & Panchatantra
(Dhingra Publishing House, 1980)
This is a strange book. The English and the bookbinding are equally suspect. Strange phrases and typos appear, even as signatures separate from each other. The Foreword has a fragment in its first paragraph. So it is ...
El Gallo, la Zorra y el Perro: Fábula de Esopo
(La Galera, S.A. Editorial, 1981)
Here is a bright, clean book with hard covers telling the UP story. The artist does fine work with the animals' faces here. The fox's early grins are excellent! The dog really does come in this version. There are ...
The Tortoise and the Ducks and other Aesop Fables
(Thomas Nelson and Sons Limited, 1963)
Twenty-one fables in a pleasant little book 5½ x 7½. In TT, the tortoise opens his mouth to confirm the ducks' statement that she is the queen of tortoises. Three fables here are new to me. In The Bee and the Spider, ...
