Early American School Books
(Chandler Press, 1988)
"Pages 6 and 7 of this compendium of samples from "Choice pages from 1785 to 1880" offers two fables. Those two pages are 142-43 of "The Elementary Spelling Book, an improvement on the American Spelling Book" by Noah ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
Fábulas: Esopo, Fedro, Iriarte, Samaniego y Hartzenbusch
(Editorial Andrés Bello, 1983)
"The introduction is well titled "Cinco Fabulistas." I think I could understand immediately choosing the latter three. They are prominent Spanish language fabulists. Why take only Aesop and Phaedrus from the classic ...
Casper the Friendly Ghost: Far-Out Fables
(Tempo Books: Grosset and Dunlap, 1981)
"As I fully expected, this paperback book has nothing to do with Aesopic fables. It contains standard Casper cartoon stories. I read the first, "Every Litter Bit Helps." It is rather a full story, lasting 42 pages. In ...
Reading with Expression: First Reader
(American Book Company, 1911)
Here is a second copy of this book in poor condition. Again I find an American Book Company reader in unusually good condition and with unusually good color printing. There are two fables here: The Wolf and the Kid ...
Festival Fairy Tales: Collection Two
(Peter Haddock Ltd., 1985)
This book is internally almost completely identical with another in the collection, found at Second Hand Rose in Evanston. The two noteworthy differences are that this book was printed in Hungary, not Russia, and that its ...
La Fontaine: Fables
(Éditions du Panthéon, 1961)
Here is an extra copy of this book. This is a nice looking edition, often using two colors for the texts. No editor is acknowledged. I like the Dandelot water-color illustrations. They are big, bold, and colorful. ...
Stories for Children Everywhere
(Cliveden Press, 1983)
I have one other book from Cliveden Press: A Storytime Treasury (1985). The formula is roughly the same: large format, cute and sentimentalized art. Fables are mixed with other stories. Here there are nine fables mixed ...
