Les Fables de La Fontaine pour Bebe
(Théodore Lefèvre et Cie., 1886)
This book reproduces another in the collection, but with several changes. It might be several years younger than my other copy. Notice these differences. On the front cover, the publisher's name is inside the frame ...
Aesop's Fables in French
(Leypoldt & Holt, 1869)
This book reproduces the 1864 version published by Henry Holt. I do not detect any changes from that edition. Let me offer some of my comments from there. The advertisement following the title page claims that Aesop is ...
The Fables of Mr. John Gay, Complete in Two Parts
(Wilson Spence, and Mawman,, 1797)
Here is a curious book. Bodemann lists a first Bewick illustration of Gay published by Rivington et al in London in 1779 and reproduced in 1792 (#166.1). The catalogue goes on to describe a second Bewick illustration of ...
The Fabulist
(Avon Books, 1993)
Here is a biographical paperback novel with a rather racy pair of covers. On the front cover we see pictured a dragon, a soldier, a sexy sphinx, some rapacious animal, and an ape with a sword. On the back cover we learn ...
Fables de La Fontaine Enrichies de Gravures
(J.B. Rolland & Fils, 1890)
This is one of the legion of French editions whose title-page claims dans laquelle on aperçoit d'un coup d'oeil la moralité de la fable. It is an undistinguished 306-page text for students with a T of C at the end except ...
The Fables of La Fontaine (Flowered Cover)
(H.M. Caldwell Company, 1881)
This book repeats in all but two respects an edition with the same bibliographical information. First, it has a lovely floral cover, part of which is done against a white leatherette background. Secondly, the H.M. Caldwell ...
Aesop's Fables
(The Palmer Company, 1911)
This book occurs at a fascinating point in publishing history. Stead's name in England is connected with Books for the Bairns. What I have seen of this series indicates that it follows a format of dividing every printed ...
Aesop's Fables
(Thomas Nelson and Sons Ltd.,, 1925)
I have been looking for this book for a long time. It is the background for the one other fable book I have found by Blyton, published by Element in 1999. There are twenty-two fables on 64 pages, with a T of C at the ...
Persian Fables for Young and Old
(John W. Parker West Strand,, 1833)
This is an earlier (first?) version of a book I have in its 1838 printing by the same publisher, apparently unchanged from its form here. Let me offer some of my comments from that printing. Published under the Direction ...
Aesop's Fables
(Western Book Seller's Publishing House ; published and sold by B.F. Ells, 1860)
This is a 32-page pamphlet about 3½ x 5 with thin paper covers and a sewn ribbon binding. Unfortunately 21-28 are missing here. On both covers a young girl sits with a book spread in her lap. As it is, there are eleven ...
