Aesop's Fables (brown)
(Heritage Press, 1941)
The interior of this book seems identical with that of the boxed yellow version from the same publisher in the same year, except that the T of C gives 126 for 124 and is off by two pages for the rest of its listings. This ...
Aesop's Fables for Young People
(W. Foulsham & Co. Ltd.,, 1945)
About 240 fables are arranged in alphabetical order, each with an italicized moral at the end. Thus we go from Aesop Plays to Young Mole and Her Mother. There are about twelve black-and-white illustrations of an ...
Aesop's Fables (yellow cover)
(The Heritage Press, 1941)
This new edition has undergone a few changes, some of which might at first escape notice. We have a new yellow cover featuring the mice of TMCM in mirror-opposite poses on the front and back. The full-page illustrations ...
Aesop's Fables
(Dainippon Yuubenkai KodanshaK¿dansha, 1949)
This traditional Japanese book features a lion, rabbit, and stag on its Japanese front-cover. Inside it has close to eighty fables, with plenty of lively cartoons to accompany them. Notice, e.g., the fox and goat on the ...
L'Esopo Moderno: Quattrocentotrenta Favole
(Vallecchi Editore, 1940)
The 430 fables are numbered in the T of C at the back. Pancrazi writes a Poscritto 1940 after his original Invito all'Esopo dated in 1930. The only thing I can find on Pancrazi so far is his life span, 1893-1953. The ...
Fables from Aesop
(Blackie & Son Limited, 1940)
Blackie did an earlier--I presume--edition of King's Fables of Aesop, in this very series of Blackie Stories Old and New, but the illustrations were by Allan Carter, though he was not acknowledged. This edition comes up ...
Who Was Aesop? Aesop's Fables
(Graphic Educational Productions Inc., 1946)
This large (10¾ x 10¼) book with a 78-rpm record enclosed is remarkable first of all for the lively red face of Aesop that stands out on its cover. Around this figure are arrayed the characters from some well-known fables: ...
Aesop: Fabeln
(Dr. Ernst Hauswedell & Co. Verlag, 1949)
This is a valuable little book. It had better be at the prices I paid for both copies! First, it presents a rare vernacular version of Romulus. There are eighty-six fables here on 92 pages, including an untitled last ...
Fables from Aesop and Others
(Transatlantic Arts, 1944)
A beautiful book that I had read about in Ash and Higton's Aesop's Fables: A Classic Illustrated Edition (1990) but had had little hope of finding. They give the 1944 date, which I cannot find in the book itself. The ...
Aesop's Fables
(Grosset & Dunlap, 1947)
I already have a number of different versions of Fritz Kredel's book in the collection. This one belongs to the group with a large format. It has what I believe is called a Library Binding. The cover is a plain heavy ...
