Aesop's Fables
(Cassell Petter, and Galpin,, 1873)
This is a second and poorer copy of the second edition. Like the better copy, this book has the same format, cover design, pagination as the first edition, done perhaps in 1869. See my comments there. The cloth cover ...
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 ...
Les Fables d'Ésope, mis en Français, Avec le sens moral, en quatre vers, à chaque Fable. Tome Premier
(Chez Billois, 1801)
Dédiée à la Jeunesse. Note that I have only the first volume. Not in Bodemann. A charming little book, not least for its few but lovely illustrations. After a word to youth, there is Planudes' life of Aesop, embellished ...
The Fables of Aesop: Selected, told anew and their history traced by Joseph Jacobs
(MacMillan & Co., 1894)
This book is internally identical with the Stella Books first edition I have listed under the same date. After years of not finding a first edition, I found two in a little over a year. See my comments there. This book ...
The Fables of Aesop: Selected, told anew and their history traced by Joseph Jacobs
(Macmillan Company, 1894)
I count twelve different editions of Jacobs/Heighway that I have collected before I finally got back to a first edition. This book has a green decorated cloth cover with gilt titles. It is inscribed in 1903. There is a ...
Aesop's Fables with Upwards of One Hundred and Fifty Engravings on Wood
(C. WhittinghamJoseph Booker, Whittaker, Duncan et al, 1828)
This book is identical with versions I have from 1839, 1841, and 1849. With all of these it shares the small size, here about 3¼ x 5. This version turns out to be the earliest I have of this version. Other versions' ...
The Christian Aesop: Ancient Fables Teaching Eternal Truths
(Burns, Oates, and Company/KessingerKessinger Publishing, 1871)
This book is a delightful find that I just looked at in a Kripke Conference paper. For each of fifty fables, Anderdon adds to the usual narrative and illustration a short spiritual teaching and scripture quotation. Then ...
Bennett's Fables from Aesop and Others
(Viking Press, 1857)
I already have several copies of this book, but this copy has a difference. The copy came in an eBay sale of several good recent illustrated fable books at a good price. The difference in this copy comes on its dust ...
Aesop's Fables: The Holland Edition of 1659
(The Halford Sauce Company, 1897)
As often happens, something I had never seen before has reappeared within six months. And as often happens, I thought I was buying a second copy of exactly the same booklet I already had. It turns out that this is the ...
Some of Aesop's Fables with Modern Instances
(MacMillan and Co., 1883)
The engravings of Caldecott's drawings are here of course in black-and-white, and they are excellent! I just showed a number of these in class yesterday! A wonderful addition to the collection. By comparison with the ...
