Aesop's Fables
(Harper & Brothers, 1927)
I had found what I thought to be a first edition of this book earlier from Greg Williams. This copy is, like that, a pictorial black cloth octavo with a colored frontispiece and three other full-page colored illustrations. ...
Aesop's Fables
(Harper & Brothers, 1927)
This book is very similar to two others in the collection. All show a publication date of 1927. Like the Ten Editions book, this edition states First Edition with Louis Rhead's Pictures. Unlike either of those books, ...
Ezop Masallari
(Dilek Matbaası, 1990)
Here is an 80-page children's paperback in very poor condition. Just enough remains of the title-page to know that it was published in Istanbul in 1990. There are no internal illustrations. If there was a T of C, it ...
Aesop's Fables
(Harper & Brothers, 1927)
Here is a very curious book. I had not known of it until I saw a copy advertised through Old Friends in Portland for $130. At almost the same time, Greg mentioned it to me from a computer listing of his. Pictorial black ...
Aisopou Mythoi: Aesop's Fables and His Life
(George Rangaves, Artisan, 1991)
This has to be one of the more curious books in this collection. First of all, the book breaks between Aesop's life and his fables for a brief presentation, with two pasted-in colored photographs, of Holy Week celebrations ...
Aesop's Fables
(George G. Harrap & Company Ltd., 1921)
This book is closest to the Crowell edition I have listed under 1921?/1925?. Like it, it has illustrations of TH (22) and FS (84). Contrast with the British Coker edition (1921/33), which lacks those two illustrations. ...
Aesop's Fables
(Whitman Publishing Company, 1934)
The outside spine of this book is not strong, but internally it is in good condition. I like this book. It has forty-eight fables, each with a simple but accurate engraving that catches the nuance of this telling. The ...
Aesop's Fables
(Ai-iku-sha, 1925)
This paperback book presents fifty-three fables on 84 pages. Each has a simple design derived from standard English-language sources like Weir or Tenniel. On 85-112 there are vocabulary notes on each of the fables. There ...
The Hare and the Tortoise/A Foolish Miller and His Donkey
(Joie, 1989)
Good lively cartoon work in the Disney tradition. The righthand pages are full illustrations, while the left present the text with one telling symbol. The English is sometimes a little off: on 19 we read lead for led. ...
Nürnberger Prosa-Äsop
(Max Niemeyer Verlag, 1994)
This is a very helpful little volume. It contains a text with apparatus criticus for the sixty-three fables in the Nurnberg Prose Aesop from Vienna from sometime before 1412. The notes after each fable also indicate the ...
