Funfzig Fabeln für Kinder, Nebst einem ernsthaften Anhange
(Friedrich Andreas Perthes, 1845)
I cannot find this edition in Bodemann. Its images seem not to follow the edition I have marked as 1852? For example, the first illustration's crow looks right, as it seems to in most Speckter editions. The binding has ...
Our Little Men and Women
(D. Lothrop Company, 1888)
This magazine is well worn. After a page of advertisements and a picture of a cat in winter, we come to a two-page verse version of SW (An Old Fable Versified) by J.B.F. Rhyming couplets carry supposedly message-hungry ...
Favorite Stories: A Collection of the Best Loved Tales of Childhood.
(Whitman Pub. Division Western Pub. Co.,Whitman Publishing Division: Western Publishing Company, 1968)
A large-format book on cheap paper with sixteen previous copyrights mentioned on its T of C page. There are two fables in here, both with lively, pleasant colored drawings. I only wish I knew which of the three illustrators ...
Ausgewählte Fabeln und Erzählungen
(Union Deutsche Verlagsgesellschaft, 1890)
This book is nearly identical with a book published by the Gebrüder Kröner in Stuttgart, which I have listed under 1879?. The publisher has changed. The frontispiece illustration is lacking, apparently torn out. The ...
Christian Furchtegott Gellerts Fabeln und Erzählungen
(Volksverband der Bücherfreunde Wegweiser-Verlag,, 1910)
This thin book of 106 pages contains, as the T of C at the end shows, forty-two fables, with appendices offering Gellert's statements about himself, Gellert and bibliophiles, and excerpts from literary exercises of Gellert's. ...
Fabeln und Erzählungen
(Verlag Lothar Borowsky, 1970)
I have been reviewing a number of shorter books of Gellert's fables. By comparison, this volume makes several contributions. First, it seems to contain all the fables. They are organized in three books. Secondly, it ...
Some of Aesop's Fables with Modern Instances.
(MacMillan and Co., 1883)
Compare with my copy of MacMillan's first American edition of the same year. Blackwell's salespeople were unaware that they had this book, and I discovered it just as the store was about to close. By comparison with the ...
Geschichten von Onkel Remus
(Der Kinderbuchverlag, 1984)
Forty-four stories and an afterword, with perhaps a dozen indifferent black-and-white line sketches and perhaps a dozen good colored pictures, generally a full page in size. The afterword goes out of its way twice to ...
Antike Fabeln
(Aufbau-Verlag, 1978)
This is one of the most helpful of books on classical fables, because it presents a complete set of translations of ancient fables. Thus it has five different versions noted under Der Fuchs u. die Trauben in the AI, which ...
The Town Mouse and the Country Mouse 2407(cloth)
(Saalfield, 1942)
I cannot believe the various editions of this book that I am finding! I think this makes the sixth. It seems to replicate #407 perfectly in terms of the sequence of pictures. Is it perhaps a more recent version of it? ...
