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: A New Translation
(Oxford University Press, 2002)
What a fine book! It delivers, I believe, what Robert and Olivia Temple promised. I think its chief accomplishment is that it presents the ancient Greek and Latin collections fully. In addition, there are links to the ...
Aesop's Fables
(The Palmer Company, 1911)
This book occurs at a fascinating point in publishing history. Stead's name in England is connected with Books for the Bairns. What I have seen of this series indicates that it follows a format of dividing every printed ...
Aesop's Fables
(Western Book Seller's Publishing House ; published and sold by B.F. Ells, 1860)
This is a 32-page pamphlet about 3½ x 5 with thin paper covers and a sewn ribbon binding. Unfortunately 21-28 are missing here. On both covers a young girl sits with a book spread in her lap. As it is, there are eleven ...
Aesopi Phrygis Fabulae
(Typis H.S. Woodfall Impensis Societatis Stationariorum,, 1784)
This book has one of those long titles. It goes on Nunc demum ex Collatione Optimorum Exemplarium ab infinitis pene Mendis repurgatae, una cum nonnullis Variorum Auctorum Fabulis adjectis. Et Indice Correctiori praefixo. ...
Aesop's Fables
(Frederick A. Stokes Company, 1908)
A beautiful traditional Aesop that I had never had in my hand before. Excellent condition. Maybe 250 fables printed very nicely two or three to the page with no runovers. The brief versions may sometimes evidence a lack ...
Aesop's Fables
(Washington Square: David McKay Company, 1921)
I had seen too many reproductions of Fry's work. This early (first?) edition, sitting on the shelf at Bonifant, shows how good her work is in color and black-and-white. The latter offer their own witty commentary on the ...
Animal Fables from Aesop
(David R. Godine, 1991)
A serious entry into the classic Aesopic tradition. Exceptional color illustrations in the anthropomorphic tradition of Grandville. The only flaw I see in the presentation of the nine fables (besides the cost of the book) ...
Aesop's Fables
(Andrews and McMeelAndrews and McNeel, 1991)
Pleasing, lively acrylics in a small-format book that was ordered as part of a promotion in conjunction with a lecture I gave here. Eleven fables. Differently told: Androcles and the lion are caught together. In the ...
Aesop's Fables: A New Revised Version From Original Sources.
(The Phoenix Publishing Company, 1892)
This edition reproduces the 1884 Allison edition, which already had a colorful history. See my extensive notes on it. The paper here is cheaper and the illustrations therefore poorer. The publisher and date of publication ...
