A Novel Journal: Aesop's Fables
(Peter Norton: Printers Row Publishing Group, 2016)
"Here is a first! This is indeed a journal for writing one's thoughts and experiences. The tiny lines in the journal are Aesop's fables. As an advertising slip proclaims, "The journal lines are the novel (in teeny, tiny ...
C.D. Cobb & Bros. Advertising Magazine
(C.D. Cobb & Bros. Advertising Magazine, 1881)
This is a curious circular put together apparently by a store with a main location and three branches in Boston and further branches in Westboro and Fitchburg. This 32-page stapled pamphlet combines various advertisements ...
Hoi Mythoi tou Aisopou
(Rekos, 2007)
This is a catchy, lively 100-page soft-covered book of fables for children. As the closing T of C shows, there are nineteen fables presented. The cover picture gives the sense of the book's wit: a parent fox points ...
Aesop's Fables
(Scholastic Book Services, 1963)
A cheap paperback. The two-color illustrations are good simple starters for several tales. Otherwise there is nothing special here. Because they are three distinct printings, I will keep all three in the collection.
My Book of Aesop's Fables
(Maxton Pub. Corp., 1962)
The cover page proclaims that the pictures are thrilling and the story specially retold. Well.... LM, TH, TMCM. There are little block diagrams of the characters in open spaces as you ago along. This book is rather in ...
Favole Esopiane
(Giacinto de Bonis, 1777)
What a treasure! Nicely worm-eaten! Index on 154-6 of the 70-80 fables, many of which seem to be post-Aesopic. Nice short-lined Italian verse. I will have to see a professional book restorer about this little gem. The ...
Aesop: The Complete Fables
(Penguin Books Ltd., 1998)
It may be simplest to give my review here for the Classical Outlook: This book presents a good translation of the 358 prose fables in Chambry's 1927 edition of Aesop. That is its virtue, and it makes the book worth ...
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 ...
The Fables of Aesop Paraphras'd in Verse
(William Andrews Clark Memorial Library University of California,William Andrews Clark Memorial Library: UCLA, 1668)
The versions here are longish and filled with topical references. The illustrations are quite faint. Several put another fable's picture in the background. The best illustrations for me might be The Head and the Members ...
The Fables of Aesop: Selected, Told Anew and Their History Traced by Joseph Jacobs.
(Macmillan, 1964)
Meg got this for me from her Berkeley High library. I love any illustrations that Levine does; the added spice here is that he later (1975) turned his hand to a fuller illustration. One can trace the genesis of some of ...
