Aesop's Fables.
(London: J.M. Dent/NY: E.P. Dutton, 1913)
I am delighted at last to get an early Everyman edition. Compare this edition with that of 1913/42. There are surprising little changes, though the body of the introduction, the fables presented, and their pagination ...
Aesop's Fables: A Version for Young Readers.
(Ginn and Company, 1915)
A curious reworking of Stickney and Ginn's Child's Version of Aesop's Fables (1891) with a new artist, whose illustrations are rather standard. The text seems basically the same; WL changes the lamb's sex to female. At ...
Aesop's Fables
(London: J.M. Dent and Sons/NY: E.P. Dutton and Company, 1915)
A very nice little book in good condition. Earlier I had found two editions of Tilney's LaFontaine (1913/30 and 1913/36/38) from the same series. This book deliberately omits fables included by the moderns. The texts ...
Aisopo Pasakos
(Spausdino Tevynes Spaustuveišleido V.K. Račkauskas, 1914)
This book seems to have been a grandfather of a book I received from Ann Ramagos, CSJ, in 1993: Ezopo Pasakos, published by UAB Algita in 1991. This is a hardbound version of some 346 pages, with illustrations by only ...
Aesop's Fables: A New Revised Version From Original Sources.
(Hurst & Company, 1910)
This book is internally exactly the same as books of the same title that I have listed in the same year. That it has exactly the same plates is clear, e.g., from the broken typeface at the top of 5. It repeats the blooper ...
The Aesop for Children
(Checkerboard Press, 1919)
Here is yet another edition done from the old classic. This edition presents twenty-seven fables with the smallest text-and-picture area of all the Winter editions I have. There is no T of C. The book does not acknowledge, ...
The Aesop for Children
(Checkerboard Press, 1919)
This orange-covered book, with 126 fables on ninety-six pages, is very similar to the Rand McNally edition dated 1919/47/84. This edition is on softer paper; the illustrations take on a different atmosphere.
Aesop's Fables Profusely Illustrated.
(The World Syndicate Publishing Co., 1910)
This book is essentially a reprinting of the 1910? Goldsmith edition with a brown cover given me by Elizabeth Willems. The cover is imprinted with the same design of lamps and books. The book shows the same mistake as ...
Aesop's Fables
(London: William Heinemann/NY: Doubleday, Page, and Co., 1912)
T of C and list of illustrations. Both the colored and black-and-white illustrations are very well done. The colored illustrations come alive in this early edition, e.g., The Crab and His Mother, The Blackamoor, 2P, Venus ...
Aesop's Fables, with 100 Illustrations
(J.B. Lippincott, 1916)
This book represents a major find, for which I am strongly indebted to Mary. This copy got me going on a major project, and I found Opper worthy of careful analysis. See my extensive comments on the first edition (1916). ...
