Aesop's Fables
(Cassell & Company Limited,, 1890)
This book is internally identical with the Cassell and Company volume which I have listed under 1893/93? I am no longer certain that 1893 was the original date for this edition. This book is distinguished from that one ...
Aesop's Fables
(I. M. Dent & Co., 1895)
I had learned of this lovely little book through Ash & Higton (1990). This is a small book, 3½ x 5¾. The illustrations are beautiful, starting from the frontispiece of a stork eating frogs and a title-page illustration ...
Aesop's Fables, Book 2
([s.n.], 1890)
This 8 x 11 pamphlet may set a record in this collection for least publication information! We see here a very pleasing green and gray cover, with some of the gray figures faded. There are twenty-nine fables with some ...
The Book of Fables: Containing Aesop's Fables, Complete, with text based upon Croxall, La Fontaine and L'Estrange. With Copious Additions from other Modern Authors
(Hurst & Co., 1890)
This book is like two others that I have. Its contents are very much like those in the Arlington Edition put out by Hurst and listed under 1899? There is no indication of an Arlington Edition here. It is exactly like a ...
Aesop's Fables in Words of One Syllable
(A.L. Burt Company Publ.,, 1895)

Aesop's Fables: A New Edition with Proverbs and Applications
(Bliss, Sands & Co, 1897)
It is strange that I had not found this book until 1996 and within a few years have found it two more times in slightly different versions--one the extra here and one a copy by Stokes in NY, listed under 1910? This is a ...
Aesop's Fables: A Selection of Sixty of the best known and most often quoted, with an Introductory Sketch
(Maynard, Merrill, & Co., Publishers, 1894)
Here is a handy little volume of sixty fables. It might be serve as a good indicator of which fables people were expected to know around the turn of the century. The cover promises Explanatory Notes but I find none. In ...
The Fables of Aesop
(Henry Altemus, 1899)
This book seems a cheaper version of the Altemus' Young People's Library edition; see the two copies of this edition listed nearby. This book shares the same spine format with the Yoffee copy there, but has a dark ...
