Fables d'Ésope
(A l'Enseigne du Pot CassePubliée sous la direction de Constantin Castera, 1934)
This is the sort of book for which this collection exists! At first it looks like nothing more than a beaten-up old paperback, remarkable perhaps for the fox who scratches his head on the cover while the stork eats out ...
Three Animal Fables Selected from Aesop.
(Thorsons Publishers, 1930)
This is a second copy of this delightful book. Its binding is blue rather than gray and is appreciably stronger. So I have made a second record and will keep both in the collection. This copy has a strange scent: a ...
The Fables of Aesop
(Books Inc.,, 1930)
Here is a book interiorly very close to another Art-Type version for which I have also guessed a date of 1930. This copy has a green cloth cover instead of the brown-and-blue faux grain of the first copy. It has no ...
Three Animal Fables Selected from Aesop.
(Thorsons Publishers, 1930)
A delightful find. The pages are not numbered, and the binding is weak. Alternating black-and-white and color illustrations. The lion and hare drawings sometimes end up slightly odd. LM features a Do not disturb sign ...

The Fables of Aesop
(Books Inc.,, 1930)
This straightforward volume has several claims. It contains a large number of fables, perhaps 275, listed alphabetically on xi. In the introduction, J.W.M. makes the claim we believe this to be the first full English ...
Aesop's Fables
(Junior Literary Guild, 1933)
I was surprised to find this book. I did not know that the Artzybasheff edition was done by anyone other than Viking. Is this book actually over sixty years old? The internal book seems identical to the Viking editions. ...
Favorite Fables from Aesop
(Rand McNally & Company, 1939)
Here is the second copy of the probable first of three versions of this book in the collection. I believe that this copy from Dorothy Meyer and the Powell's copy may be the most original. The two show these features. ...

Here is the first copy of the probable second of three versions of this book in the collection. The book shows these features. Copyright information is on the verso of the title-page, followed by this number: CS 10-38. ...
