Aesop's Fables Profusely Illustrated
(Goldsmith Publishing Co., 1910)
A lovely little edition. Delightful tellings, with good proverbial morals, and lively black-and-white drawings, some in silhouette (e.g., the bald knight on 173). AI at the beginning. Worth special notice: The Fatal ...
The Favourite Book of Fables, With Numerous Illustrations
(Thomas Nelson and Sons, 1891)
This book is identical with the 1890 (first?) edition, except for the changed date on the title-page. I am especially delighted to find it because my copy of the 1890 edition has two torn pages, and this copy is in good ...
My Book of Favourite Fables Adapted from Aesop's Fables
(Award Publications Limited, 1995)
This is a smaller presentation of My Big Book of Favourite Tales by the same publisher in 1983. The plates are exactly the same but reduced proportionally. In fact, these illustrations are sharper. The colorful illustrated ...
Young Life Magazine, December, 1982
(Orthodox Christian Education Commission, Canonical Orthodox Bishops of America, 1982)
This is Volume 18, Number 4 of this magazine For Orthodox Christian Children. The back cover is a full-page black-and-white sketch by Ann Marie Peckham of DS. How nice of Mr. Stangas to think of me! His researches have ...
Aesop's Fables
(M.A. Donohue & Co., 1895)
This book compares most closely with my 1896 Aesop's Fables from Donohue, Henneberry, and Company. See my comments there. This book has a strange first page with four rabbits around a cartoon of grandpa kicking a football. ...
More Fables from Aesop (28)
(F.A. Owen, 1905)
This paper-covered pamphlet contains eight fables for first graders. The Instructor Literature Series contains 306 volumes at this time. The original price was $.07 or less. The fables are again told very simply. See ...
Il volgarizzamento delle favole di Galfredo dette di Esopo: testo di lingua, Vol. 2
(Gaetano Romagnoli, 1866)
Here is the second volume of a set whose unusual character I have suggested in my comments on Volume 1. This book still has a covering on its spine (broken between 112 and 113), and it reads Testo Inedito and Parte II. ...
Esopo: Fábulas.
(José J. de Olañeta, 1989)
A lovely little edition of thirty-five fables, extensively illustrated with Caxton's work now done in color. He is rarely thus chosen for his art, I believe. The text is a modernization of the 1489 edition here described ...
Qua Va Cao
(Van Hoa - Thong Tin, 2004)
The illustrations in this colorful slick paperback book almost 6 square seem to me to repeat some I have seen elsewhere, but I cannot yet be sure about a match. There are six stories presented. In each, the text is on ...
Lua Doi Lot Su' Tu'
(Trang An, 2002)
Some of the illustrations--and presumably the stories--in this colorful paperback book about 7 x 6½ repeat from the smaller booklets I found in the same store at the same time. Here we have familiar story lines and familiar ...
