Everyday Classics Third Reader
(MacMillan, 1917)
"Here is the third printing I have of this book. I have placed the printings of the others in 1922 and 1925. Other than the date of printing that they bear, I believe that they are identical. The particular pride of ...
Reading with Expression: Third Reader
(American Book Company, 1911)
"This copy is almost identical with another book in the collection. The only difference I notice is on the verso of the title-page, where this copy substitutes "W.P. 1" for "W.P. 2" there. As I wrote there, this is a ...
Studies in Reading: First Grade
(University Publishing Company, 1924)
This schoolbook in poor condition joins copies I had already found of the second and third readers in the same series. This book is missing at least 41-46, but it still has three fables intact, two of them with nice ...
The Canadian Readers: Book II
(T. Nelson & Sons/W.J. Gage & Co., 1926)
Authorized for Use in the Public Schools of Manitoba, Saskatchewan, Alberta, and British Columbia. This second-grade reader includes a surprising number of fables, perhaps more surprising because only one of them -- the ...

The Beacon Third Reader
(Ginn and Company Ltd., 1914)
This reader features two items that belong in the fable world: Androclus and the Lion (46), attributed to Roman Tradition, and Reynard the Fox (241), described as a German folk tale. There is one black-and-white illustration ...
Fables and Fairy Tales
(Longmans Green and Co.,, 1931)
Finding this pamphlet allows me to reconstruct a little publishing history. I had already found a remake of this booklet from 1980, which gives as the original date of publication 1931. See my comments there. The structure ...
