Le Monde Magique des Contes et Légendes (Livre 2)
(Les Éditions Tormont Inc., 1989)
This very large-format pamphlet is referred to in Livre 1 of the same series (containing TMCM and FS) as Livre 2, but there is no indication here that this is Book Two or even that there is a series. PML Editions is added ...
Le Monde Magique des Contes et Légendes, Livre 1 (LM et al)
(Les Éditions Tormont Inc., 1989)
This very large-format pamphlet reproduces Wielka Skarbnica Bajek, Ksiazka 1 (also 1989?). PML Editions is added on both covers and on the title-page but is not mentioned in the title-page account of the publisher. There ...
The Book of Fables Chiefly from Aesop
(Boston: Houghton Mifflin Company/Cambridge: The Riverside Press, 1882)
I must stop buying this book! I bought this one on a hurried trip through the airport because it is in such excellent condition. See my comments on the various other printings of this book. Stedman's Victorian Poets is ...
Masterpieces: Pope, Aesop, Milton, Coleridge, and Goldsmith.
(Fowler & Wells Co., 1889)
A wild find nowhere near where fables might usually show up in this store. The second section of this five-part book is almost identical with the 1870 and 1873 booklets Aesop's Fables Illustrated. The only difference I ...
The Book of Fables: Containing Aesop's Fables. Complete, with text based upon Croxall, La Fontaine and L'Estrange. With Copious Additions from other Modern Authors
(John B. Alden, 1883)
Again, I thought I was picking up a good second copy of a book where my first copy may have been in only fair condition. And this book is very close to one that I have listed under the same title and publisher in 1885. ...
Fables Original and Selected
(Willoughby & Co., 1842)
This somewhat-the-worse-for-wear book represents a real find on Jerry's part. It uses exactly the same plates as my fancy hand-colored 1842 edition. So it has the same 497 fables from some thirty-two fabulists, named ...
Aesop and Hyssop
(Open court publishing co., 1912)
How nice to find a first edition of this favorite! I like this little book very much. There is more than a bit of whimsy in it, composed as it is (in verse) by its author in grief over having lost his wife or best friend. ...
A Child's Version of Aesop's Fables
(Ginn & Company Publishers, 1904)
This seems to be an exact reprinting of the 1891 version, of which I have a copy. As I mention there, various people worked on the text, and the illustrations seem to be from Doré, Weir, and a certain F. Myrick (?). Let ...
The Book of Fables: Containing Aesop's Fables.
(Hurst & Co. Publishers,, 1899)
After 140 pages of Aesop, there are Later Fables in the last 100 pages of the book. Compare the two copies to see how much more clearly Griset's work emerges in the blue-covered volume. Good AI. The Stutzman copy ...
Select Fables of Esop and Other Fabulists. A New Edition
(Printed for and sold by, Joseph and James Crukshank,, 1798)
Sold at Hamell's in Philadelphia. Three books: Ancient, Modern, and Original. As in my other editions of Dodsley, the index at the back is really a listing of morals; they sometimes repeat promythia or epimythia. ...
