Aesop's Fables
(Cassell & Company, 1893)

(Frederick Warne and Co./Scribner, Welford, and Armstrong, 1875)

The Fables of Aesop and Others.

Here is an extra copy of this book in good condition. An unusual mixing in of seven of Caldecott's fables with the twenty-two Bennett works. These latter seem less well done than in the Viking edition. There is a valuable ...

Aesop's Fables Together with the Life of Aesop.
(Rand McNally,, 1897)
Apparently a reworking of the 1897 Rand McNally edition. See that for comments. This book adds some Billinghurst illustrations and three from an unknown source (frontispiece, 46, and 58). All the non-Heighway illustrations ...
