Aesop's Fables
(Raphael Tuck and Sons, 1918)
This book is apparently a direct descendant of Tuck's 1914 Aesop's Fables by the same editor and illustrator. See my comments there. It has a slightly smaller format, 155 instead of 163 fables, and 106 pages instead of ...
Aesop's Fables
(Adam & Charles Black, 1912)
For this reprint, see my notes on the 1912 original. It reduces the numbered of colored illustrations from thirteen to eight and fortunately includes two of the three I had chosen as the best: The Blackamoor (8) and The ...
Aesop's Fables
(Adam & Charles Black, 1912)
This edition has a dust jacket but seems otherwise to reproduce my 1950 reprinting of the 1912 original. The colored illustrations are particularly well done here. This is what I wrote on that 1950 reprinting: It reduces ...
Aesop's Fables
(Platt & Nourse Co., 1913)
The curious history of this book goes on even further than I had thought! Platt had three different partners in a fairly short time: Peck in 1913, Nourse after that, with Munk apparently still later. This copy lacks the ...
Fabeln des Lateinischen Äsop: Für Übungen Ausgewählt
(Carl Winter's Universitätsbuchhandlung, 1910)
This booklet of 10 plus 72 pages came out at the same time as Thiele's Der Lateinische Äsop des Romulus. Here he shortens the introduction to a helpful five pages and selects twenty-four fables just as they are presented ...
Aesop's Fables Profusely Illustrated.
(The World Syndicate Publishing Co., 1910)
I have two copies of this blue-covered book, the first a gift of David Dreis in 1987and the second purchased through Ebay. The latter has a surprising dj that features a pirate, the Mad Hatter, Alice, and others--but ...
Aesop's Fables
(The Century Co., 1911)
A wonderful find! A nice title page illustration starts the book, and pleasant soft green borders remain throughout. There are 200 fables, indexed alphabetically at the front. The best illustrations include MM (15), AD ...
Le Liévre [sic] et la Tortuë Mis en Fable par Différens Auteurs
(en l'École Municipale Estienne, 1914)
Before writing anything else, I must point out what seems to me a major mistake in this student book. The first four presentations of Lièvre get the accent wrong! Those presentations are on the cover, on the first and ...
Aesop's Fables
(London: William Heinemann/NY: Doubleday, Page, and Co., 1912)
This book has a twofold claim to fame. First, it is a first edition of Rackham's Aesop's Fables. Thus the colored illustrations are thus very well done, and protected by slipsheets with the name of the illustration at ...
Aesop's Fables
(The Palmer Company, 1911)
This book occurs at a fascinating point in publishing history. Stead's name in England is connected with Books for the Bairns. What I have seen of this series indicates that it follows a format of dividing every printed ...
