Aesop's Fables in Words of One Syllable with Illustrations
(Cassell & Company Limited,, 1888)
Here is a second copy, slightly different and again in poor condition, of a book already in the collection. Its front cover, a pictorial red board, shows a circular image of FK. At its bottom is Copyright 1888 O.M. Dunham. ...
Aesop's Fables in Words of One Syllable
(George Routledge & Sons, 1882)
This is one more in a large series of nearly identical books. Routledge published this same book with colorful covers; I have listed those editions under 1883? and 1887? Several things distinguish this book. It has a ...
Les Fables d'Ésope, mis en Français, Avec le sens moral, en quatre vers, à chaque Fable. Tome Premier
(Chez Billois, 1801)
Dédiée à la Jeunesse. Note that I have only the first volume. Not in Bodemann. A charming little book, not least for its few but lovely illustrations. After a word to youth, there is Planudes' life of Aesop, embellished ...
Aesop's Fables: A New Version Chiefly from the Original Sources
(John Murray, 1867)
Here is another copy of the book first published in 1867. This copy is covered in blue cloth, but with a beautiful golden illustration with title and author embedded in the front cover. As I remark elsewhere, Tenniel's ...
The Children's Picture Fable-Book Containing One Hundred and Sixty Fables
(Harper & Brothers Publishers,, 1861)
I have been very fortunate to find this second, brown-covered copy of a work which I already have in defective form. As I note under that 1861 book, found at Emerald City Fine Books, Eugene, OR, by mail in September of ...
Aesop's Fables with Vocabulary, Notes, and References to Goodwin's and Hadley's Grammars
(John Allyn Publisher,, 1879)
Preceded by Talks on the Natural Method. This is a curious book. First, I am surprised that I have not run into it before, because I have had my eye out for books that use Aesop to teach. This book does exactly that. ...
Three Hundred and Fifty Aesop's Fables
(Donohue Henneberry & Co.,, 1885)
I have a copy of this book from Keith Pajot of Renaissance, which I found in 1990. Now, twenty-one years later, I find another copy. I am trying to keep any book in the collection which has the slightest difference from ...
Three Hundred Aesop's Fables
(George Routledge and Sons, 1885)
This copy is nearly identical with one I had found at Bargain Bookstore, San Diego, in 1993. As I note there, many other versions have 50, not 114, illustrations. Unlike some similar versions from Routledge, this -- like ...
Aesop's Fables with Upwards of One Hundred and Fifty Engravings on Wood
(C. WhittinghamJoseph Booker, Whittaker, Duncan et al, 1828)
This book is identical with versions I have from 1839, 1841, and 1849. With all of these it shares the small size, here about 3¼ x 5. This version turns out to be the earliest I have of this version. Other versions' ...
Favourite Fables in Prose and Verse
(Griffith and Farran, 1870)
Here is another binding of a book I have already in two other bindings. This time we have a standard cloth library binding from the Brooklyn Public Library. I am happy to see that it was taken out by some ten different ...
