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 ...
Aesop's Fables
(Junior Literary Guild, 1933)
I was surprised to find this book. I did not know that the Artzybasheff edition was done by anyone other than Viking. Is this book actually over sixty years old? The internal book seems identical to the Viking editions. ...
Aesop's Fables
(Homewood Publishing Company, 1930)
A curious melange. The text appears to be identical with that in Cassell's Aesop's Fables (1893/1893?) illustrated by Griset and in Hurst's The Book of Fables (1899?), also illustrated by Griset. The author, unacknowledged ...
The Fables of Aesop
(Books Inc.,, 1930)
This straightforward volume has several claims. It contains a large number of fables, perhaps 275, listed alphabetically on xi. In the introduction, J.W.M. makes the claim we believe this to be the first full English ...
Bewick's Select Fables of Aesop.
(Printed by R. Ellis for Cheshire house, 1932)
Far superior renditions of the engravings to those in the 1973 reprint of this book by Avenel. Taken from Bewick's Select Fables (1784). Holes at the sides of some of the rough pages. A real find! Because both of my ...
Famous Fables from Aesop
(The Harter Publishing Co., 1933)
A beautiful book. The silhouettes are lovely; I doubt that the fables, unattributed to an author, are worth much. I would like to find one silhouette to include in a lecture. The best seem to be of the fox and goat, the ...
Aisopos' Fabler
(Ahlen & SönersŠhlen & Söners Förlag, 1932)
My, what you do not find when you ask! This Swedish version of Rackham was offered to me as the Danish first edition for $250. It seems to reproduce the 1912 Heinemann illustrations faithfully except for the way in which ...
Aisopos' Fabler
(Seorlins ForlagSörlins Förlag, 1932)
It was a thrill for me to find this Swedish edition on the Yoffees' list of fable works. Then just weeks later, I found in Atlanta the original of which this seems to be a facsimile! The changes I notice from the original ...
Aesop's Fables Rehashed
(Privately published. Kellaway-Ide Company[Kellaway-Ide company printers, 1930)
A strange book. 366 fables in verse of questionable quality, length, and insight. Phrases filling out the verse pattern seem frequent. I sampled five fables: The Mountains in Labor (65), The Wood and the Clown (93), ...
Aesop's Fables
(Whitman Publishing Company, 1935)
An oversized pamphlet with cardboard covers. The fables inside are listed on the cover. The front (mother and child pig) and back (piper and pig) cover illustrations seem to have nothing to do with Aesop. Each of the ...
