Aesop: Fables

Aesop's Fables
(Cassell Petter, and Galpin,, 1873)
This is a second and poorer copy of the second edition. Like the better copy, this book has the same format, cover design, pagination as the first edition, done perhaps in 1869. See my comments there. The cloth cover ...

This is a fresh rendition of MacMillan's 1964 edition of Jacobs and Levine. Clifton Fadiman's essay from that edition has dropped. So has the portion of the title that claimed a tracing of the fables' history. Added are ...

(London: J.M. Dent/NY: E.P. Dutton, 1913)

Aesops Fables (Inside title: The Fables of Aesop)
