Fables: Aesop and Others
(London: J.M. Dent/NY: E.P. Dutton, 1913)
A packed little volume, with eighteen chapters divided by author. No illustrations. Good modern versions of people like Caxton. This book has been very helpful in preparation of the course on fables this past semester. ...
Favole di animali
(AMZ Editrice, 1974)
Twenty-eight years ago I found a book by the same publisher covering fewer fables but using the same illustrations. The publishing history is not easy. That book used a subtitle Fiabe di la Fontaine, Fedro e Esopo. Its ...
Eric Carle's Treasury of Classic Stories for Children.
(Scholastic, 1988)
As far as I can tell, there is nothing new here in fables; Carle is drawing on his 1980 Twelve Tales from Aesop. The one story from there that is dropped here is The Birds, the Beasts and the Bat. I liked Carle's work ...
Folk-Lore and Fable: Aesop, Grimm, Anderson.
(P. F. Collier & Son Corporation, 1909)
The texts included seem to be identical in this 1937 edition (sixty-second printing in 1969), but there are many subtle changes: a new frontispiece, no indication that this is Volume 17, and new typeface. This edition ...
Fables: Aesop and Others
(London: J.M. Dent/NY: E.P. Dutton, 1913)
This 1936 printing makes for a good contrast with the 1942 printing, which I also have. It includes, for example, sixteen pages of advertisements for Everyman editions. It does not yet include, facing the title-page, the ...
Aesop's Fables. An Anthology of the Fabulists of All Countries.
(London: J.M. Dent/NY: E.P. Dutton, 1913)
Now I have worked my way back to a first printing of this classic! In keeping with previous annotations on this book, I will mention the distinguishing marks of the next printing (1918) as opposed to this one. The 1918 ...
Folk-Lore and Fable: Aesop, Grimm, Anderson.
(F.P. Collier & Son Corporation, 1909)
This volume, in very good condition, has elements of both my 1909 and my 1909/37/69 editions. With the latter it shares pagination and frontispiece but not the fancy binding. With the former it shares the notation that ...
Favole di animali: Fiabe di la Fontaine, Fedro e Esopo.
(AMZ Editrice, 1960)
Colorful and often useful pictures. I like the one of the ant giving hell to the grasshopper. Good faces too on the fox with and moving away from the grapes. Style is simple but colorful, and the cut of the pictures ...
[Thai] [lion/mouse cameo on cover]
(ʻAmnūaisān, 1980)
Two fables are illustrated with eight pages of simple green monochrome each at the beginning: Talkative Turtle and Frogs Desiring a King. Then lots of stories without English or illustrations. T of C at the beginning.
Aesop's Fables, Including Fables by Gay, La Fontaine, and Others
(Ward Lock and Company Limited, 1962)
This book seems to reproduce exactly The Book of Fables, published by Frederick Warne in New York in 1962; my copy is dated 1963. This volume from Ward Lock changes the title from The Book of Fables to Aesop's Fables, ...
