Faules de Isop, Filosof Moral y de Altres Famosos Autors
(Estampa de Torras, 1885)
""Corregidas de nou." The closing T of C lists eight books. The sixth is attributed to Remicius. The full-page representation of Aesop is surprising: he is a handsome hunchback. The pose is that of Steinhöwel's Aesop ...
Fables in Verse
(Brown, Bazin, & Co, 1855)
"Twenty-six years ago I bought a first copy of this book at Renaissance in Milwaukee. Here is a second copy in poorer condition. It has the same printer's error listed below. I keep it in the collection because it is a ...
Truths and Fables (Cover: Truths, Fables, and Pictuers [sic])
(Wm. J. Reynolds and Co., 1848)
"Here is a curious melange that starts with a misspelling on the front cover! Next, after one endpaper, follows a title-page "Truths and Fables" with the words framed by eight medallions of typical family scenes. At the ...
Aragk (Fables)
(I Surb GhazarSoorp Ghazar, 1882)
Until I find someone who can read Armenian, I will have to be satisfied with limited knowledge about this very old pamphlet. It has forty-four fables on some 94 pages after a green paper cover. They seem to be in verse. ...
The Book of Fables
(Sheldon Blakeman & Co.,, 1850)
This little (5½x almost 4½) volume answers a question raised earlier by a volume with the same bibliographical information. That book consisted of conundrums, and I wondered if the printer made a mistake. This little ...
Tiny Tot's Book of Fables
(.S.W. Partridge & Co., 1895)
This large (about 8¼ x 11) pamphlet with stiff wraps reminds me of the Aunt Louisa series done by one of Partridge's competitors. This booklet is inscribed in 1895. It is in good condition. It includes ten fables that ...
The Children's Picture Fable-Book Containing One Hundred and Sixty Fables
(George Routledge and Sons, 1860)
Hobbs gives 1860 as the date of the first edition of this work, by Routledge. Might this be it? The book is slightly larger in format than my 1861 Harper & Brothers edition. See my notes there. This edition features ...
Our Picture Book
(T. Kingsford & Son, 1880)
Compliments of T. Kingsford & Son to the Little Folks of America. As the bookseller wrote, this booklet was an advertising giveaway of Kingsford's Corn Starch including entertainments for children, such as shadow puppetry ...
The Caldecott Aesop
(Doubleday, 1883)
Here is an extra copy of this book without a dust-jacket. Lovely stuff, though the pictures are sometimes so bound to the contemporary social and political setting that it is hard for us to see the point. DLS is particularly ...
Little Bo-Peep
(M.A. Donohue & Co., 1895)
Here is another Donohue surprise-a book, like Jack and Jill (1895?) that contains only the title-story and fables. This book has the same cover border, the same back cover, and the same Mother Goose endpapers as that book. ...
