The Fables of Aesop
(View Productions, Pty Ltd., 1985)
"There was a spate of reprintings of Detmold's "The Fables of Aesop" about the time that copyright on his 1909 edition ran out. This has a larger page format than those others, and it does not paste in his colorful ...
Aesop's Fables Profusely Illustrated
(The World Publishing Co., 1910)
"There is already a copy of this book in the collection, found in 1992. Now some 33 years later, I have found a copy in better condition with a dust jacket. It is hard to believe that the book was printed as early as ...
The Country Mouse and the City Mouse and Other Stories
(Platt & Munk, 1939)
This is, I believe, a reproduction of the Platt and Munk original I have dated to 1939? It is in good condition. This reprint seems to have paper of a different quality. As I write there, this is a selection of three ...
Aesop's Fables in Rhyme for Little Philosophers.
(John Martin's Book House, 1924)
Here is a first of two extra copies of this book. I enjoy the illustration style here, and the fables are versified, with one or two (e.g. MM) even song-ified. Perhaps the best for use in a show would be LM. Interspersed ...
Three Animal Fables Selected from Aesop.
(Thorsons, 1930)
Here is an extra copy with a creased front cover. This extra copy has poor color alignment on the fourth page of LM. A delightful find. The pages are not numbered, and the binding is weak. Alternating black-and-white ...
Aesop's Fables Rehashed
(Privately published. Kellaway-Ide Company, 1930)
Here is an extra copy, signed by the author like the first. A strange book. 366 fables in verse of questionable quality, length, and insight. Phrases filling out the verse pattern seem frequent. I sampled five fables: ...
Aesop's Animal Fables Picture and Story Book
(Juvenile Productions, Ltd., 1947)
Here is an extra copy in very good condition. This delightful picture book makes a point of putting appropriate clothes on its animals, right from the suspenders under the turtle's shell on the cover. The camel wears a ...
Aesop's Fables
(Grosset & Dunlap, 1947)
Here is an extra copy with some markings -- extra, that is, beyond the three extras in the collection. The same as the previous entry but in a smaller format, with scaled down drawings and water colors. The paperback ...
Aesop's Fables
(The Hyperion Press, 1944)
Here is an extra copy whose original price was $.69 at the Emporium. Which Emporium? A fine book. I am surprised that I have never seen it before. Seventy-eight fables, enhanced by twenty-four full-color and many ...
Aesop's Fables for Modern Readers
(Peter Pauper Press, 1941)
Here is an extra copy inscribed in 1958. My, Peter Pauper Press has been busy getting mileage from their 1941 edition. This one is smaller in format, has sixty-one instead of ninety pages, and contains ninety-six of the ...
