Aesop's Fables
(The Heritage Illustrated Bookshelf (The Heritage Press), 1941)
Almost identical with the Heritage Reprints edition. I presume now that this edition is actually a pre-war edition antedating that one. The chief distinguishing marks are a change from red here to brown there in the ...
A Book of Fables
(Penguin Books Limited, 1942)
See 1950? Harlequin books for a later issue of this pamphlet. The dealer has assigned this a date of 1942. I do not see it printed anywhere in the booklet. Notice the number of war books offered in the Puffin Picture ...
Aesop's Fables
(Peter Pauper Press, 1941)
Peter Pauper Press has used virtually the same translation for three different editions. Bewick's is also dated 1941. Carle's adds two later copyright dates. The Bewick translation is the fullest, to judge from The ...
Fables of Aesop
(The Scribe: Archway Press, 1946)
Eighteen nicely told, hand-printed fables, with one or two small illustrations in two colors for each fable. There is a nice story running along with the text, as illustrations follow two men conversing from the title ...
Aesop's Fables: A New Version Written by Munro Leaf with Illustrations by Robert Lawson. Collector's Edition. Bound in genuine leather.
(The Easton Press, 1941)
I finally broke down and picked up this fancy rendition of a book I have enjoyed very much. The cover is dramatic, the binding is made of buffalo, with moire endleaves and excellent paper--and I still like the art, ...
Aesop's Animal Fables Picture and Story Book
(Juvenile Productions Ltd., 1947)
This delightful picture book makes a point of putting appropriate clothes on its animals, right from the suspenders under the turtle's shell on the cover. The camel wears a fez! The stork wears a hat when she visits the ...
Fables from Aesop and Others
(Transatlantic Arts, 1944)
A beautiful book that I had read about in Ash and Higton's Aesop's Fables: A Classic Illustrated Edition (1990) but had had little hope of finding. They give the 1944 date, which I cannot find in the book itself. The ...
Aesop's Fables in a New Translation for Modern Readers.
(Peter Pauper Press, 1941)
Very nice copies of Bewick's work in a book in very good condition. AI at the back; no list of illustrations. The illustrations on the cover curiously include two (WL, FS) not used in the book, and at least one used in ...
Aesop's Fables
(Grosset & Dunlap, 1947)
I already have a number of different versions of Fritz Kredel's book in the collection. This one belongs to the group with a large format. It has what I believe is called a Library Binding. The cover is a plain heavy ...
Little Folk's Fables from Aesop
(McLoughlin Brothers, 1940)
Here is an even cleaner copy of a slightly different version of a book already in the collection. The back cover there pictured various fairy tale characters with some information at its center. Here the background is ...
