New Lamps for Old: Story Lessons from Aesop
(James Clarke & Co. Ltd., 1937)
This book is meant to lead children from fables to the Kingdom of God. The old fables have new meanings for Christians. The book presents eighty-four fables on 132 pages. Each fable is followed by relevant scripture ...
Aesop's Fables in Rhyme
(Philip R. Bucci, 1936)
This book looks like the privately published work of a devotee. The book presents eighty-two fables in rhymed verse. Perhaps a third of them are illustrated. The rhythm seems to tend heavily to anapests. I do not think ...
The Aesop's Fables
(Xianggang qi ming shu ju, 1930)
This is a rare, ephemeral find! This 5 x 7 1/4 soft-cover paperbound book has some 290 pages. Each of 299 fables is printed in English on the left side and in Chinese characters on the right side. I cannot identify the ...
Aesop's Fables: Mishle Izop: 312 Tales in Hebrew and English
(B.W. Hecht, 1938)

(Hampster, 1935)

Favorite Fables from Aesop
(Rand McNally & Company, 1939)
I have three different versions of this book and will keep two copies of this first version in the collection. I believe that this Powell's copy and the copy from Dorothy Meyer may be the most original. The two show these ...
Aesop's Fables
(Viking Press, 1933)
T of C at the front and an AI at the rear. About twenty great wood engravings, starting from the reading donkey on the front cover of the first printing! The engravings are particularly distinct and lively in the first ...
Favorite Fables from Aesop
