Aesop's Fables, with 100 Illustrations
(J.B. Lippincott, 1916)
At last I am delighted to get back to a first edition of this important work. Mary Keane's gift of a second edition (1916/17) got me going; see my comments there. In fact, I had just finished an extensive review of that ...
The Aesop for Children
(Jedediah Clauss and Sons: An Amereon Company, 1919)
Here is a second version of this book that I have bought without knowing what I was buying! It was advertised on eBay as Charlotte Mason Ambleside Sonlight Aesop for Children. Knowing nothing about those first four words, ...
Aesop's Fables Profusely Illustrated
(The World Publishing Co.World Publishing Company, 1910)
Here is a book that is identical in its printing with a dust-jacketed book that is much thinner, even though the two books have the same number of pages. This copy also has a larger cover and larger-margined pages. In ...
Aesop's Fables: A New Edition with Proverbs and Applications
(Frederick A. Stokes Company, Publishers, 1910)
See my remarks on what I take to be the original book, published by Bliss, Sands, and Company in 1897. This edition is notable by contrast for its cheaper paper and, therefore, for the poorer precision of the illustrations. ...
Aesop's Fables. An Anthology of the Fabulists of All Countries. Dutton spine
(London: J.M. Dent/NY: E.P. Dutton, 1913)
The format of this book's cover is different from the three copies I have of the first printing. Like them, it has no printing date on the back of the title-page. All later printings seem to have such. It shares with ...
Fabeln des Lateinischen Äsop: Für Übungen Ausgewählt
(Carl Winter's Universitätsbuchhandlung, 1910)
This booklet of 10 plus 72 pages came out at the same time as Thiele's Der Lateinische Äsop des Romulus. Here he shortens the introduction to a helpful five pages and selects twenty-four fables just as they are presented ...
Aesop's Fables
(Platt & Nourse Co., 1913)
The curious history of this book goes on even further than I had thought! Platt had three different partners in a fairly short time: Peck in 1913, Nourse after that, with Munk apparently still later. This copy lacks the ...
Aesop's Fables
(Stead's Publishing House, 1911)
Strange things happen when one delves into publishing history. This is a pamphlet of at least 62 pages, followed by four pages of advertisements. I could not find a match with any of the Books for Bairns volumes of Aesop's ...
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). ...
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 ...
