The Fables of Aesop: Selected, told anew and their history traced
(F.M. Lupton Publishing Company, 1894)
"This small edition (4½" x 6") edition shares several curious features with the other six like it in format but perhaps a half inch taller: Caldwell 1894/1900? (red roses against a gold background on cover); Caldwell ...
Aesop's Fables for Little Readers
(T. Fisher Unwin, 1880)
"Here is a book internally identical with another in the collection. Where that book has a blue cloth cover, this book has a red cloth cover. As I wrote then, there seems to be no indication in this book of when this ...
Die Fabeln des Äsopus/Fables d'Esope/Favole di Esopo/Fabulae Aesopi II
((Joseph Frister), 1807)
"Here is a real prize! Two volumes each contain 45 Aesopic fables presented in the same format: a full-page (about 5" x 7½") illustration on more substantive paper and then a page each for German, French, Italian, and ...
Die Fabeln des Äsopus/Fables d'Esope/Favole di Esopo/Fabulae Aesopi I
((Joseph Frister), 1806)

Fables from Aesop and Myths from Palaephatus with a vocabulary
(Longmans, Green, and Co./Kessinger Publishing's Legacy Reprints, 1876)
Here is a late nineteenth-century textbook that probably seems curious to us. There are eighteen Aesopic fables in simple Greek prose. Then there are ten mythological stories. After that there is only a vocabulary. ...
Aesop's Fables
(J. B. Lippincott & Co., 1873)
This little book in only fair condition seems to reproduce the 1873 version published by Strahan. Like that earlier version from a different publisher, this little book has a green-and-gold embossed cover. The plates are ...
Aesop's Fables for the Instruction and Improvement of Youth
(John McGowanPrinted by John M'Gowan, 1838)
This is one of the fattest little (4¼ x 5½) books I have. It is really two volumes bound together, both dated to the same year on their title pages. Each volume has a T of C at its beginning. The first volume has one ...
Aesop's Fables
(New York Publishing Company, 1895)
This book has identical plates with the American News edition (1885?) without Krilof's fables. This book has an embossed maroon cloth cover, much thicker pages than that edition, and pages gilt at the top. Can the plates ...
Aesop's Fables: A New Version Chiefly from the Original Sources
(John Murray, 1867)
This little book represents my first copy of Wolf's revision of Tenniel's work. Tenniel's original 1848 work published by Murray apparently got such a negative response that, before reissuing it in 1851, the publisher ...
Aesop's Fables
(Geo.S. AppletonGeorge S. Appleton, 1848)
I cannot believe the proliferation of distinct Tenniel editions! This one represents a wonderful gift. A quick check has already revealed several illustrations different from, but modeled on, the original 1848 illustrations. ...
