Aisopeia
(Uitg. ElectaUitgeverij Electa, 1950)
The bulk of this book is a set of 150 Aesopic fables done into Dutch verse. The fables are divided into these subsets: stories from mythology, animals (alone or with people), humans (alone or with gods), nature, and ...
Zehn Fabeln des Aesop
(Folkwang-OffizinFolkwang-Werkkunstschule, 1954)
Each of the ten fables here has one, two, or three small woodcuts colored in green and black. Most are about 2 square. The best of them include TB, FC, and Fabel vom Pfau und der Göttin. Pferd, Rind, Hund und Mensch has ...
Aesopica Vol. 1: Greek & Latin Texts
(Arno Press, 1952)
The standard work for textual comparison. It is hard to know if it is worth $75, but at least the Arno Press version has the complete original.
Esopo: Favole
(Rizzoli, 1951)
A nice source. Do not miss the index of illustrations at the back. The text seems to be exactly the same as Hausrath and Perry.
Fabeln des Äsop
(Hermann Kuhn KG.s.n.], 1954)
I am surprised that I had not known of this book earlier. It presents thirty Aesopic fables in prose, each on a left-hand numbered page with a design on the facing right page. The pages are made of very heavy paper, and ...

The delightful story of Prudence and Flash. Much is added: the names, a provocation, character descriptions, fans on both sides, a description of the night before, the goal, and some activities along the way. Apparently ...
Aesop's Fables To Read and To Color
(Capitol Publishing Company, 1952)
This is a 32-page pamphlet 5½ square. Its cover has a delightful full-color painting of a fox with pince-nez reading Aesop's Fables while other animals look on and listen. The style reminds me of Russian work being done ...
Aesop's Fables To Read and To Color
(Capitol Publishing Company Inc.,, 1952)
A small, almost-square pamphlet that Jim Ciletti was good enough to take from five non-fable mates. The grasshopper realizes his mistake before the ant has a chance to say anything! Fourteen fables and a last page on how ...

The bookseller writes: An entirely hand made and hand penned book transcribed by Richard Schiff at the Cooper Union February 1951. 'Translated for children by Milo and Ana Winter' at the bottom of the title page. Laid ...
