    Oeuvres Complètes de Jean de La Fontaine 

    La Fontaine, Jean de; Walckenaer, C. A (Chez Firmin Didot Frères, Fils et Cie, Libraires, 1857)
    Here is a heavy 684-page tome that seems to have all of La Fontaine's works, starting with the fables. It is larger than my 1854 Fables et Oeuvres Diverses de J. La Fontaine by the same editor and from the same publisher. ...

    Bennett's Fables from Aesop and Others 

    Bennett, Charles H (Viking Press, 1857)
    I already have several copies of this book, but this copy has a difference. The copy came in an eBay sale of several good recent illustrated fable books at a good price. The difference in this copy comes on its dust ...

    Fables of Aesop and Others Translated into English with Instructive Applications and One Hundred and Ninety-Eight Illustrations 

    Aesop; Croxall, Samuel (Derby & Jackson, 1859)
    Here is one of many cheap reprintings with new illustrations of the Croxall edition of 1722. Perhaps the first thing to notice about this edition is that the dedication to Lord Halifax has been dropped. The preface's ...

    The Fables of Aesop (small format) 

    Parker, Willis L. (compiler) (Illustrated Editions Co., 1857)
    I wrote of a Parker-Bennett-Illustrated Editions book that I found in 1994 that I could not believe that I had found another variation on a very often-played theme. This present book stayed on the shelf of not yet catalogued ...

    The title continues Sujets puisés en partie dans des Livres arabes, persans, etc. a la Portée des Enfants. Opening the cover presents the first curiosity. The cover changes the title-page's date of publication from 1852 ...

    The Little Esop 

    Aesop (H.C. Peck & Theo. Bliss, 1855)
    This is the fifth version of this little book that I have found. Compare it with the first three and you find that the publisher is Smith and Peck in 1844, Loomis and Peck in 1846 and 1848, whereas now a Theo Bliss has ...
