Reynard the Fox After the German Version of Goethe
(Roberts Brothers, 1887)
This is a lovely "Reynard," with the illustrations after Kaulbach and the twelve additional plates by Joseph Wolf. I prefer the former to the latter, which are listed on vii. This is a large (8" x 10½") and heavy volume. ...
Aesop's Fables
(Bobley: Children's Classics Library, 1899)
A good example of a cheap knockoff reprint of an earlier work. See the editions dated 1899?, 1900, 1902, 1925, 1930, and 1930?. The text is identical with the non-expanded JBR versions, but the morals are omitted. ...
Bennett's Fables from Aesop and Others
(Viking Press, 1857)
Lively and delightful illustrations, here reproduced vividly. If there is a problem with Bennett's wonderful pictures, it is that the social commentary is so pointed that we lose or miss something as we view them in a ...
Hundert Fabeln für Kinder
(Opera-Verlag, 1836)
Compare with the English translation (1879?) of this work. Excellent pictures here. No T of C or index. The 1837 illustrations come off strong here. The stories are as saccharin in German as in English. Here is a good ...
Ésope: Le Renard Qui Avait la Queue Coupée et Autres Fables.
(Enfantimages: Éditions Gallimard, 1857)
Beautifully reproduced colored pictures of seventeen fables from Bennett. The color work may be superior to that in editions from this country. The clever cover-picture is not included inside the book. The Wolf in the ...
Drollige Thierbilder und Reime aus der Fabelwelt
(Insel Verlag, 1850)
Beautifully colored reprint with witty little rhymes including lots of fables I recognize (and some I may not yet). The Blind and the Lame features the snail and the mole (1). Other fables include The Bear and the Fly ...
Phaedri Augusti Liberti Fabulae Aesopiae
(Teubner, 1876)
This is one of the many printings under Number 620 in Carnes' Phaedrus bibliography. Here is Carnes' description: One of the most successful editions of Phaedrus, a school edition, by Müller (1836-1898), with a short ...
Select Fables of Phaedrus, Edited for the Use of Schools
(Macmillan, 1884)
My biggest question about this little book is How does it relate to Nall's edition in the same series? This book was first published in 1884, while Nall's was first published in 1895. If they are for different levels of ...
Uncle Frank's Select Fables for Good Boys and Girls IV: The Ant and the Caterpillar
(Wm. H. Murphy, 1851)
The cover reads Uncle Frank's Fables for Children: The Ant and the Caterpillar. Fourth of six volumes (listed on the back cover), with pages numbered here surprisingly from 103-36. Twenty-one fables. The organizing ...
The Little Esop
(Philadelphia: Smith and Peck; New Haven: Durrie and Peck, 1844)
A wonderful little treasure. The paper is stained, but the book is otherwise in great shape. The best illustrations are The Stag and His Horns (29) and LM (45). In versions different from the usual, the mouse gets into ...
