The Book of Fables Containing Aesop's Fables
(F.M. Lupton Publishing Company, 1905)
I have at least four other Lupton editions. All use the same text for the fables. All begin the text of a group of later fables on 159. All four lack a page 157-8. Among those four copies, this book is most similar to ...
Aesop's Fables
(Lothrop Publishing Company, 1901)
I am very happy to get a copy of Rundell's version, quoted by Hobbs on 102. The Griset illustrations are well done here. Still, this book's special offering lies in the four full-color illustrations. These often render ...
Aesop's Fables
(Lothrop Publishing Company, 1901)
This book is almost identical with another I have from the same publisher, but which I bought from Don Dupley in Omaha in January of 1993. Like it, this book has FC in strong colors on its front-cover. However it has on ...
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). ...
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 ...
More Fables from Aesop (28C)
(F.A. Owen, 1905)
This is a limp cloth edition and apparently a reissue of the paper-covered edition listed as No. 28 of the Instructor Literature Series by the same publisher in the same year. See my notes there. This booklet does not ...
The Book of Fables: Containing Aesop's Fables.
(F.M. Lupton, 1903)
Very close to my 1902? Lupton edition, right down to the good paper, the good printing, and the numerous empty pages at the end. As is usual for these Lupton editions (see 1900?, 1901?, and 1902?), a note added to the ...
Aesop's Fables Told in Easy Words
(London: George Routledge/NY: E.P. Dutton/Toronto: The Musson Book Company, 1900)
I have often looked down on Weir's work because so much of it appears in poorly printed editions. There is, by contrast, a great deal to like here! There are forty-four fables, with an AI at the front. Some of the best ...
The Fables of Aesop.
(A.L. Burt, 1900)
A wonderfully curious gift. As Tom points out, the book starts with a nice cover design modelled on Heighway's The Fisher and the Little Fish (116) with the addition of a background including modern ships. Adding ...
Skeealyn Aesop: A Selection of Aesop's Fables
(S.K. Broadbent/Kessinger Publishing, 1901)
This book reprints a book of bilingual fables along with poems by Edward Farquhar of Cregneish. There is nothing in this book that was not in the original, I believe, except for three things: the covers with their simple ...
