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 ...
A Book of Fables
(Thomas Nelson & Sons Ltd., 1935)
This book is identical with another in the collection except for a few features. Like that book, it uses the plates used in my apparent first edition of Jack Orr's Aesop's Fables, which I have listed under 1927? Please ...
Big Book Magazine: Fables
(Scholastic, 1991)
This may be the largest book I have. Its authors include Tom Paxton (CP), Verna Aardema (The Hen and the Dove), and James Thurber (TH). Also included are The Fox and the Goat, BC, a traditional version of TH, and WS (in ...
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. ...
Das Schönste Fabelbuch für Brave Kinder: Eine Auswahl aus Deutschlands Fabelschatz
(Druck und Verlag von Rob. Bardtenschlager, 1915)
Here is a book that invites comparison with a paperbound version bearing the same title from the same publisher. They have the same picture on their front covers and they present the same fables. This hardbound version ...
Fables without--Facts within
(Tillmann & Bendel, 1910)
I wondered for some time whether this little four-page, one-staple, two-story, two-picture, one-fable pamphlet belongs among the books or in the advertising section. The first story is The Bird-Catcher and the Serpent ...
Twenty Four Fables of Aesop and other Eminent Mythologists.
(Ernest Benn, 1928)
Here is an extra copy of this book. Identical after the title page with the Dutton edition printed in England (1928?). Most of the illustrations are taken from Gheeraerts' edition from Bruges of 1567 (the three others ...
The Big Book of Fables
(Portland House, 1987)
Here is a second extra copy of this book with a dust-jacket. I find nothing to indicate that the illustrations come from fifty years ago, which would have been my suspicion. Witty line-drawings, some silhouettes, and ...
Select Fables
(Frank Graham Publishers, 1820)
Here is an extra copy of this book. In 1776, Bewick did indifferent woodcuts for an edition of Select Fables. In 1784, T. Saint published a new book by the same name with new woodcuts by T. and John Bewick. In 1820 ...
