Funny Little Fables and Stories for My Little Friends (Cover: Fables and Stories)
(Dean & Son, 1876?)
This fragile book contains seven chromolithographic plates and a woodcut tail piece. 30 pages, unpaginated. Inscribed in 1896. The text block is coming loose but still holds. The first fable is MSA, told this time as ...
The Isopo Laurenziano
(The Lawrence Press Co., 1899)
A good text, well placed and edited, of a Florence manuscript which includes forty-six fables and is an Italian derivative of Marie de France. (Other Italian fable manuscripts were based principally on Walter of England, ...
Fables of Aesop
(Bay View Publishing Co.[Bay View Pub. Co.], 1894)
This book compares in rough fashion with the four mentioned together under 1894/1901?, but it has a number of distinctive features. The other four begin fables on 26 and end on 202 with And this is the end of Aesop's ...
Aesop's Fables
(Robert B. Collins, 1848)
This book, which is in fair condition, makes it into the collection for one reason. It is an exact replica of a volume with the same bibliographical data given to me by Jerry McKevitt. But the printer of that copy had ...
Aesop's Fables Literally Translated from the Greek
(The American News Company, 1885?)
This copy of the Peoples Edition has a different colored cover (brown cloth instead of blue) and has better runs of the illustrations, and so I will include it in the collection. Like it, this book stops dead at 257 with ...
The Fables of Aesop
(Frederick Warne and Co., 1867?)
This book is internally identical in its plates with that which I have listed by the same publisher under 1866? Its few differences are these four: (1) It has a green and gold cover, (2) adds to the title-page New Edition ...
Aesop's Fables Together with the Life of Aesop.
(Rand McNally, 1897?)
Just as in the adjacent item found in Stillwater, the plates in this edition seem to be identical with those in the 1897 edition of the same title from the same publisher. As in that Stillwater edition, there is no date ...
The Ladder to Learning: Step the Second
(William J. Reynolds, 1850?)
This little paperbound booklet is 4½ x 5½ in size. It seems to be an American adaptation of the second section of the British work of slightly smaller dimensions. Though I am not able to compare the two now, I doubt that ...
The Book of Fables
(Published by Peter G. Thomson, 1883)
The illustrations are bright, simple, and well preserved. The best are of TB (with a cub!) and of the ass and the little dog. The cover with its many animals is curious; does it depict a particular fable? The versions ...
The Fables of Aesop
(Schocken Books, 1894)
This book is an almost exact reproduction of another in the collection, dated 1894/1979. This version was printed in 1982 and is listed as a sixth printing. The curious feature of the book is that the line on its cover ...
