Aesop's Fables Profusely Illustrated.
(The World Syndicate Publishing Co., 1910)
I have two copies of this blue-covered book, the first a gift of David Dreis in 1987and the second purchased through Ebay. The latter has a surprising dj that features a pirate, the Mad Hatter, Alice, and others--but ...
Aesop's Fables
(London: William Heinemann/NY: Doubleday, Page, and Co., 1912)

Aesops Fabelbuch (Cover and spine: Aesop's Fabeln)

A beautiful book to go with my early editions in English and Swedish. Good runs of the colored and other illustrations. Original decorated light red cloth. This is a very dear gift. Dr. Schibel gave it to me as we ...
