The Fables of Aesop in Words of One Syllable.
(Henry Altemus Co., 1900)
This book replicates the book from the same publisher with the same title, except that it stops abruptly after 128, not even including the illustration for LM on 128. See my comments there. Its cover is white cloth, and ...
Aesop's Fables Told in Easy Words
(London: George Routledge/NY: E.P. Dutton/Toronto: The Musson Book Company, 1900)
This book reproduces with hard boards and a blue cloth spine the soft-covered printing I have under the same date by the same publisher. Like it, the cover's title is Aesop's Fables, while the title-page has Aesop's Fables ...
Fables of Aesop
(The Rodgers Co., 1905)
This small book is closest to one I have listed under 1894/1910? As I mention a propos of that book, it is similar to four mentioned together under 1894/1901?, but these two have a number of distinctive features. The ...
Aesop's Fables
(Moffat Yard & Company,, 1905)
Sixteen wonderful colored illustrations in perfect condition, as well as about twenty less good etchings. The Fowler edition is inscribed in 1908; it is hard to believe that a 1905 book is in such good shape. LM (40), ...
Aesop's Fables Told in Easy Words
(London: George Routledge/NY: E.P. Dutton/Toronto: The Musson Book Company, 1900)
I have often looked down on Weir's work because so much of it appears in poorly printed editions. There is, by contrast, a great deal to like here! There are forty-four fables, with an AI at the front. Some of the best ...
The Fables of Aesop
(Distributed by Crown PublishersWeathervane Books/Crown Publishers, 1909)
Some 300 fables in standard form and twenty-three beautiful colored illustrations. Their shortcoming is that they have little to do with the story. The best of the illustrations may be of the monkeys and their mother ...
Aesop's Fables
(McLoughlin Brothers, 1900)
This book is almost identical with the McLoughlin Brothers edition I have listed already under the same year with a question mark. In comparison, this book has a different, cream-colored cover. It has the same end papers ...
The Book of Fables: Containing Aesop's Fables.
(F.M. Lupton, 1903)
Very close to my 1902? Lupton edition, right down to the good paper, the good printing, and the numerous empty pages at the end. As is usual for these Lupton editions (see 1900?, 1901?, and 1902?), a note added to the ...
The Fables of Aesop
(Charles E. Graham & Co., 1900)
This book drives me crazy because it seems to be composed of things I have seen before. The frontispiece is a colored picture (the book's only one) of a wolf and a lamb, and I know I have seen it elsewhere. The top of ...
Aesop's Fables in Words of One Syllable.
(Saalfield Publishing Company, 1905)
This book represents the third publisher to use Godolphin's texts; see 1885 and 1895. This book uses many good illustrations done after Weir and four (59, 81, 85, and 88) after Griset. There is no frontispiece or title-page ...
