The Third-Class Reader
(Hogan & Thompson, 1845)
Surprisingly dependent on fables. There are thirteen fables among the eighty-four story-lessons. Nine of the fables have strong small illustrations. The Goat and the Fox (19) comments on animals' language and on ...
Fables de La Fontaine
(Avallon. Comynet, Imprimeur-Librairie, 1835)
A small book of the complete fables in contemporary marbled boards. Its special feature is four pages of six square wood engravings each (frontispiece and facing 40, 90, 114). It would be a delight to track down the ...
The Fables of Aesop
(Mayflower Books, 1894)
I continue to find various reprints of this great book. This book brings to nine the number of different formats in which I have this work. This edition is very nicely done for $5.95. The illustrations are clear. The ...
Tiny Toddlers
(Donohue Henneberry & Co,, 1899)
Here is a wonderful find. It is one of those turn-of-the-century readers with simple stories of all sorts, dark pictures, and bright-eyed children on the cover. I noticed as I was about to put the book back that there ...
The Fables of Aesop: Altemus' Young P
(Henry Altemus, 1899)
Compiled is right! The illustrators in this small, squarish book include Billinghurst, Weir, and Tenniel. The texts come from James and others. The fascinating advertisements for books at the back allow, I believe, ...
A Selection of One Hundred of Perrin's Fables Accompanied with a Key
(Lea & Blanchard, 1832)
This copy differs from the copy I have marked 1832/40 in very few ways: by the year on the title page, by a slightly different format on the bottom of the title page, and by the listing of a printer on the back of the ...
Graded Literature Readers: Second Book.
(Charles E. Merrill Co., 1899)
An unusual feature of this standard reader is that on the back of the T of C (5) is a Classified Contents page which gathers and lists the nine fables. Each has a spirited black-and-white illustration, except for TH ...
Child's Book of Fables
(Leavitt & Allen, 1855)
I have another copy of this little eight-page pamphlet. I have listed it under 1860?; its illustrations are colored, and it adds a green cover. Here the illustrations are not colored, and the cover paper has the same ...
Aesop's Fables
(New York Publishing Company, 1895)
This book has identical plates with the American News edition (1885?) without Krilof's fables. This book has an embossed maroon cloth cover, much thicker pages than that edition, and pages gilt at the top. Can the plates ...
Fábulas Literarias de D Tomas de Iriarte
(S. Burdett, 1833)
This is a strange mixtum-gatherum of a book, right from the bilingual title pages facing each other. It includes a strange amalgam besides all the fables in Spanish in the Madrid edition of 1830. There are explanations ...
