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. ...
The Monthly Magazine of the Junior Heritage Club
(The Junior Heritage Club: The Heritage Press, 1946)
Here is a pamphlet helping to market the Leaf and Lawson version of Aesop's Fables. It has three sections on, respectively, Aesop, Lawson, and Leaf. The writer of the first is G.M., while the second and third are ...
Aesop's Fables
(Golden Galley Press Limited, 1948)
I am surprised that I had not heard of this little book before. It offers one hundred numbered fables on 74 pages. It promises but does not have four colored plates. There are fourteen black-and-white illustrations. ...
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 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 ...
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 in a New Translation for Modern Readers.
(Peter Pauper Press, 1941)
Very nice copies of Bewick's work in a book in very good condition. AI at the back; no list of illustrations. The illustrations on the cover curiously include two (WL, FS) not used in the book, and at least one used in ...
As Aesop would say: Fables
(Financial Education Publishers, 1943)
Six fables in a pamphlet that constitutes a major find. There is something weird going on in this book. I have never seen before these fables of Babylon, of Greece, of India, and of Egypt. In the first ...
Aesop's Animal Fables
(Broadland Inc.,, 1945)
I think the combination of a book and a game is a first in this collection. The game, with a punch-out spinning arrow and markers, actually has nothing to do with Aesop or fables. The most amazing thing about this simple ...
