Aesop's Fables
(Platt & Nourse Co., 1913)
The curious history of this book goes on even further than I had thought! Platt had three different partners in a fairly short time: Peck in 1913, Nourse after that, with Munk apparently still later. This copy lacks the ...

(Carl Fischer, Inc.Carl Fisher Inc., 1924)
This portfolio offers sheet music, one sheet for each part in a small orchestra. The music in this instance is from Tschaikowsky's Symphony Number 4. The piano part takes up two pages; as a double-page, it serves as the ...
Fabeln des Äsop Nach Steinhöwels Erneuertem Esopus
(Graphische Kunstdruckerei Gebr. FeylGrapische Kunstdruckerei Gebrüder Feyl, 1938)
The texts here come from an Insel publication, perhaps published in or about 1933. Insel's own book then used illustrations after those of Vergil Solis. Here we have instead Wassili Masjutin's excellent woodcuts: WC (5); ...
Fabler af Aesop ved Christian Winther
(P.G. Philipsens Forlag, 1859)
This book represents one of the nicer finds in my visit to Scandinavia. It is the kind of book I expected to find more of--and in fact have found more of on the web after the visit. It offers 203 fables on 155 pages, ...
Esops Fabler Fritt Berattade efter LaFontaine, Rundell, Binder M. Fl.
(Beijers Bokförlagsaktiebolag, 1915)
This book is similar to one already in the collection twenty-seven years ago. That one was published in 1895 by C. & E. Gernandts Forlags-Aktiebolag. It was, I believe, a revised second edition. Though this edition by ...
Lilla Esop
(Kooperativa Förbundets Bokförlag, 1945)
Like the original Danish version, which is in this collection, this book was published just after the war. I now have the book in three languages, including English. This paperbound version has a loosening spine. This ...
The Fables of Aesop
(Readers Library Publishing CompanyThe Readers Library Publishing Co., Ltd, 1932)
Here is a strange find from a strange place. I had presumed for a long time that this was a duplicate of a book I already had. Closer inspection seems to indicate otherwise. It has an unusual colored pictorial cover of ...
Skeealyn Aesop: A Selection of Aesop's Fables
(S.K. Broadbent/Kessinger Publishing, 1901)
This book reprints a book of bilingual fables along with poems by Edward Farquhar of Cregneish. There is nothing in this book that was not in the original, I believe, except for three things: the covers with their simple ...
The Fables of Aesop Adapted to the Hamiltonian System, By an Analytical and Interlineal Translation
(W. Aylott & Co., 1850)
For the Use of Schools and Private Learners. Here is yet another interlinear presentation of Aesop. A Google search revealed a Gospel of St. John published in the 1830's according to the Hamiltonian system along with ...
My First Book of Fables
(The Children's Press, 1949)
I had thought this book was identical internally with the book of the same title published by Collins (1950?). See my comments there. There are actually many differences. This book adds four fables for a total of fourteen. ...
