Aesop's Fables (with 16 colour plates and 8 sepia illustrations)
(Ward Lock & Co., Limited,, 1924)
I happened to notice this book on an ABE listing and did not remember the sepia illustrations. So I checked my book and saw that it seemed otherwise identical to the one being offered but had no sepia illustrations. Now ...
The Aesop for Children
(Jedediah Clauss and Sons: An Amereon Company, 1919)
Here is a second version of this book that I have bought without knowing what I was buying! It was advertised on eBay as Charlotte Mason Ambleside Sonlight Aesop for Children. Knowing nothing about those first four words, ...
The Fables of Aesop Based on the Texts of L'Estrange and Croxall (larger format: 5½x 7½)
(Thomas Y. Crowell Company, 1903)
These two books use the identical plates used to make the smaller format book published by Crowell in the same year. Thus they have 230 pages and 330 fables. See my comments there. These books have a slightly larger ...
Three Animal Fables Selected from Aesop.
(Thorsons Publishers, 1930)
This is a second copy of this delightful book. Its binding is blue rather than gray and is appreciably stronger. So I have made a second record and will keep both in the collection. This copy has a strange scent: a ...
Fables of Aesop
(Penguin, 1954)
This paperback from Clare Leeper presents a transition between two copies of the Penguin paperback I already had. The simplest way to find the chain of changes is to watch the new retail price marked on the book. My ...
The Fables of Aesop Based on the Texts of L'Estrange and Croxall (smaller format: 5¼x 6¾)
(Thomas Y. Crowell Company, 1903)
This book is to a large extent identical with the one from the same publisher that I have listed under 1910? The selection and placement of illustrations seem to be slightly different (though in both cases from Billinghurst). ...
Aesop's Fables, with 100 Illustrations
(J.B. Lippincott, 1916)
At last I am delighted to get back to a first edition of this important work. Mary Keane's gift of a second edition (1916/17) got me going; see my comments there. In fact, I had just finished an extensive review of that ...
Aesop's Fables. 2 in 1 Tales. The Lion and the Mouse/The Wind and the Sun.
(Modern Publishing: Unisystems, Inc., 1994)
Here is a new presentation of the same art that Hirata used in 1989 for his Joie set. The art here is certainly superior in presentation to the Peter Haddock series (1989?). It is darker than Joie's art, sometimes stronger ...
Aesop's Fables in Words of One Syllable.
(The Saalfield Publishing Company., 1925)
This book reproduces the one I have listed under 1905? from the same publisher with the same title. Thus it has 92 pages and includes four illustrations after Griset as well as many done after Weir. The cover here is red ...
Aesop's Fables Coloring Album
(Troubador Press: Price/Stern/Sloan, 1986)
This is a later reprinting of Troubador's 1982 coloring album, with about fifteen splendiferous psychedelic pictures to color in. As I mention there, generally the art has lost sight of the story. Troubador found a new ...
