The Fables of Aesop Selected and Told Anew
(DeWolfe Fiske & Co.,, 1910)
Here is yet another reprinting of Jacobs and Heighway. This book (5¼ x 6¾) adds several features that I think I have not yet found in a Jacobs/Heighway edition. First it uses the curious phrase Profusely Illustrated on ...
Aesop's Fables
(Dean & Son Ltd.,, 1915)
Here is a twenty-four page booklet with cardboard covers. The colored front cover features DS. There are four full pages of colored illustrations inside: WC, WL and TB, FG, and The Monkey and the Cheese, in which the ...
Fabulae Aesopicae (Japanese)
(Shogakukan, 1999)
This is a fine recent Aesop book! Some eighteen artists contribute two to four illustrations for each of the fables here. The styles are various and lively. The good illustrations start with what I believe is a whimsical ...
Mythoi tou Aisopou, Tomos 2os
(Ekdoseis Agyra, 2005)
This attractive large-format book offers four fables, each receiving about eight pages and a longish prose text. FWT presents a lively female fox who dresses up as a fashion statement after she has lost her tail. Her ...
Aesop's Fables
(Airmont, 1965)
Here is the $1.50 version of this book, which had $.50 and $1.25 printings. As I wrote of the earlier printing, this book is a great example of the basic cheap edition of Aesop, this book does not admit who its illustrator ...

Aesop's Fables
(Brigitte Hanf, 1956)
Now here is a find! Only six copies were printed! The illustration style is indeed unusual as one can see well in the illustration for the first fable, CJ. Hanf's moral cleverly points to Midas surrounded by precious ...
Fables d'Ésope
(Actes Sud Junior, 2012)
From the original Favole published in 2011 by Topipittori in Milan. Here is a large-format (9 x 13¼) landscape -- rather than portrait -- book. I feel as though I have known it before, but I cannot find it in the database. ...
Les Fables d'Esope Phrygien: Traduction Nouuelle. Illustrée de Discours Moraux, Philosophiques & Politiques
(Chez Pierre Rocolet, 1659)
I already have a copy of a 1660 Baudoin. I mention there the Paris edition by du Bray in 1659. Bodemann writes at the end of the comment on that 1659 edition that other copies have three other publishers' names: Rocolet, ...
Aesop's Fables
(Reading Disability Clinic, 1970)
This is a curious and delightful find. It is a landscape book about 8½ x 5½ with about half of its spiral binding intact. Another piece of the binding fell away as I was working with this book. I cannot find an indication ...
