The Fables of Aesop
(View Productions, Pty Ltd., 1985)
"There was a spate of reprintings of Detmold's "The Fables of Aesop" about the time that copyright on his 1909 edition ran out. This has a larger page format than those others, and it does not paste in his colorful ...
Aesop's Fables Profusely Illustrated
(The World Publishing Co., 1910)
"There is already a copy of this book in the collection, found in 1992. Now some 33 years later, I have found a copy in better condition with a dust jacket. It is hard to believe that the book was printed as early as ...
More Fables from Aesop (28)
(F.A. Owen, 1905)
This paper-covered pamphlet contains eight fables for first graders. The Instructor Literature Series contains 306 volumes at this time. The original price was $.07 or less. The fables are again told very simply. See ...
The Nude Aesop: Camera Fables for the Modern Man
(South Brunswick/NY: A.S. Barnes and Co. (London: Thomas Yoseloff Ltd.), 1967)
Here is an extra copy of this book without a dust-jacket. How can it be that I have been collecting for seventeen years and never even knew that this crazy book existed?! Hats off to Greg Williams for finding it for me! ...
The Exploding Frog and Other Fables from Aesop.
(Little, Brown, 1981)
Here is a second copy of this delightful book, chock full of funny illustrations. The tellings are also witty, if they do depart a bit from Aesop. I could go back to this book for many illustrations and several stories. ...
More Aesop's Fables
(Peter Haddock, Ltd., 1975)
Here is the third of three extra copies of this book. The sequel to Aesop's Fables (1975?). The price is marked in British currency. This book features rather long (eight-page) renditions of the fables, sometimes with ...
Il volgarizzamento delle favole di Galfredo dette di Esopo: testo di lingua, Vol. 2
(Gaetano Romagnoli, 1866)
Here is the second volume of a set whose unusual character I have suggested in my comments on Volume 1. This book still has a covering on its spine (broken between 112 and 113), and it reads Testo Inedito and Parte II. ...
Aesop's Fables
(Morrow, 1988)
Here is an extra copy of this book. This is my idea of what a contemporary book of Aesop's fables should be: witty stories (here in verse) with well executed and witty pictures. The fox (with the grapes), the sick ...
Aesop's Fables
(Octopus, 1979)
Here is a second copy of this book. Nice huge reproductions of Bewick with the center of the action highlighted in a second color. The coloring-in of Doré's work somehow softens it. The color graphics are distinctive but ...
Aesop's Fables
(John C. Winston, 1928)
A pretty standard small book in good shape. The only difference between the two copies is the series listing on the back of the title page: the good copy from Brattle shows The Child's Garden of Charming Books, while ...
