The Tortoise and the Hare and other stories from Aesop's Fables retold for very young readers.
(Spring Books, 1935)
This book is exactly identifical with another done by Hampster Books, for which I have guessed the same year of 1935. Let me note the differences. Printed in Czechoslovakia was placed there underneath the frontispiece ...
Ocht Sgealta o Aesop: Rang III, Ard-chursa, agus, Rang IV, Bun-chursa
(Macmillan agus a Gcomhlucht, Teo.ar n-a fhoillsiú do mhuinntir Ch. S. Ó Fallamhain Teo.,, 1935)
Gaelic readers will be able to understand more from the bibliographical data for this book than I can. I can see that it is a reader -- perhaps a school reader for the third and fourth grades? -- of some 32 pages offering ...
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); ...
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 ...
Aesop's Fables No. 1
(W.H.C., 1930)
This is a curious little landscape pamphlet with paper wraps and twelve very thin interior pages. On both covers a dapper cigar-smoking mouse faces a country hick mouse with a shepherd's crook. After the inside front ...
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. ...

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. ...
New Lamps for Old: Story Lessons from Aesop
(James Clarke & Co. Ltd., 1937)
This book is meant to lead children from fables to the Kingdom of God. The old fables have new meanings for Christians. The book presents eighty-four fables on 132 pages. Each fable is followed by relevant scripture ...
