Aesop's Fables (paperback)
(Grosset & Dunlap, 1947)
I have a copy of the 1981 printing by the Paperback Press. Here is a copy of the 1983 printing. As I have written of the hardbound versions, this book has simple artwork that can be of value. The book includes several ...
Aesop's Fables
(J.B. Lippincott Company, 1949)
There is a copy of this book in better condition already in the collection. I add this book to the collection because of its two differences. First, it uses a different kind of paper, whiter and of a different texture. ...
Aesop's Fables for Modern Readers
(Peter Pauper Press, 1941)
My, Peter Pauper Press has been busy getting mileage from their 1941 edition. This one is smaller in format, has sixty-one instead of ninety pages, and contains ninety-six of the 122 fables and almost all of the twenty ...
Who Was Aesop? Aesop's Fables
(Graphic Educational Productions Inc., 1946)
This book is identical with another in the collection with this difference: it has a spiral binding rather than a canvas binding. It also lacks the 78-rpm record. The first-page is detached from the spiral binding but ...
Twelve Fables from Aesop from the Translation of Sir Robert [sic] L'Estrange 1692
(West of England College of Art, 1947)
Here is a rare find. I doubt that many copies were printed of this large-format book. It is in very good condition. Not in Bodemann. There are eight strong colored illustrations here; each fable seems to get two ...
Aesop's Fables
(J.B. Lippincott Company, 1949)
I learned of this book somewhere very soon after I started collecting, and I put it on many of my first want lists, but never had the book in my hand, not even in libraries. Cummings' new store in Dinkytown seemed an ...
Der Wettlauf zwischen dem Igel und dem Hasen auf der kleinen Heide bei Buxtehude
(Hermann Hübener Verlag, 1947)
Is this famous story of the race between the hare and the hedgehog a fable? I admit that the charm of this booklet made me say yes for now, at least to including the booklet in the collection. This is hedgehog life as ...
Aesop's Fables
(The Heritage Illustrated Bookshelf (The Heritage Press), 1941)
Almost identical with the Heritage Reprints edition. I presume now that this edition is actually a pre-war edition antedating that one. The chief distinguishing marks are a change from red here to brown there in the ...
Den Lille Aesop: 59 af de gamle Dyrefabler
(Gyldendal, 1945)
How nice to find, nine years later, the original of which my two English versions, hardbound and paperback, were the later translation. They are listed under 1961. This 1945 Danish original version even contains the ...
Aesop's Fables
(Peter Pauper Press, 1941)
Peter Pauper Press has used virtually the same translation for three different editions. Bewick's is also dated 1941. Carle's adds two later copyright dates. The Bewick translation is the fullest, to judge from The ...
