The Fables of Aesop and Others Translated into Human Nature
(Chatto and Windus, 1875)
This book surprises me. It is slightly smaller in size than Bennett's original publication by W. Kent in 1857. The surprise to me is that the illustrations, apparently the same size as in the original, are colored. Are ...
The Fables of Aesop and Others Translated into Human Nature
(W. Kent & Co., 1857)
I am surprised and delighted to have this book. I may have seen it once, at Southern Mississippi's library. One delightful wood engraved plate for each of the twenty-two fables here, plus two other engravings. One is ...

(London: William Heinemann/NY: Doubleday, Page, and Co., 1912)

The Aesop for Children
(Rand McNally, 1919)
We have already in the collection four copies of the first edition of this book. This copy I will list under its own ID number. I believe that it may be the earliest. It has white rather than gold printing on its spine ...
