Three Animal Fables Selected from Aesop.
(Thorsons Publishers, 1930)
This is a second copy of this delightful book. Its binding is blue rather than gray and is appreciably stronger. So I have made a second record and will keep both in the collection. This copy has a strange scent: a ...
Fables d'Ésope
(A l'Enseigne du Pot CassePubliée sous la direction de Constantin Castera, 1934)
This is the sort of book for which this collection exists! At first it looks like nothing more than a beaten-up old paperback, remarkable perhaps for the fox who scratches his head on the cover while the stork eats out ...
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 ...
The Fables of Aesop
(Books Inc.,, 1930)
Here is a book interiorly very close to another Art-Type version for which I have also guessed a date of 1930. This copy has a green cloth cover instead of the brown-and-blue faux grain of the first copy. It has no ...
Aesop's Movie Fables (Green and Red Cover): Cartoons, Stories, Song, Laughs, Morals, Fun, Movie Flips
(Sonnet Publishing Co., 1931)
This item is identical with an earlier find except for two important differences. First, this large pamphlet has a green and red cover differently designed from that white cover of a cat showing a movie to children. ...
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 ...
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); ...
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 ...
Favorite Fables from Aesop
(Rand McNally, 1939)
Here is the probable third of three versions of this book in the collection. The book shows these features. Copyright information is on the verso of the title-page, followed by this number: CS 12-38. The T of C follows ...
Ein Kalender für das Jahr 1933 Mit Fabeln nach Aesop und Anderen (Cover: Klingspor Kalendar für das Jahr 1933)
(Gedruckt und herausgegeben von Gebr. Klingspor, 1933)
This is one of the happiest finds of my twenty-five years of collecting. I first knew of this book from Anne Stevenson Hobbs' book on books in the Victoria and Albert Museum. I had it in my hands when I visited the museum. ...
