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 ...
Le Liévre [sic] et la Tortuë Mis en Fable par Différens Auteurs
(en l'École Municipale Estienne, 1914)
Before writing anything else, I must point out what seems to me a major mistake in this student book. The first four presentations of Lièvre get the accent wrong! Those presentations are on the cover, on the first and ...
Aesop's Fables
(London: William Heinemann/NY: Doubleday, Page, and Co., 1912)
This book has a twofold claim to fame. First, it is a first edition of Rackham's Aesop's Fables. Thus the colored illustrations are thus very well done, and protected by slipsheets with the name of the illustration at ...
Aesop's Fables
(Raphael Tuck and Sons, 1918)
This book is apparently a direct descendant of Tuck's 1914 Aesop's Fables by the same editor and illustrator. See my comments there. It has a slightly smaller format, 155 instead of 163 fables, and 106 pages instead of ...
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
(Adam & Charles Black, 1912)
For this reprint, see my notes on the 1912 original. It reduces the numbered of colored illustrations from thirteen to eight and fortunately includes two of the three I had chosen as the best: The Blackamoor (8) and The ...
Fables: Aesop and Others
(London: J.M. Dent/NY: E.P. Dutton, 1913)
A packed little volume, with eighteen chapters divided by author. No illustrations. Good modern versions of people like Caxton. This book has been very helpful in preparation of the course on fables this past semester. ...
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
(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 ...
