Aesop's Fables No. 1
(W.H.C., 1930)
This is a curious little landscape pamphlet with paper wraps and twelve very thin interior pages. On both covers a dapper cigar-smoking mouse faces a country hick mouse with a shepherd's crook. After the inside front ...
Favole Esopiche
(A.F. Formiggini EditoreKarolis F. Formiggini, 1930)
The great claim of this book is that it presents all of del Tuppo's illustrations for the fables. It is a pleasure to find this paperbound book in fair to good condition. The printing of the illustrations is not superior ...
Aesop's Fables
(W.B. Conkey, 1930)
This book is absolutely identical with the Homewood edition (1930?) of the same title except for the presence here of a frontispiece colored from Billinghurst's The Fox and the Goat. That same colored illustration ...
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 ...
The Subtyl Historyes and Fables of Esope.
(The Grabhorn Press, 1930)
What a wonderful find! I had seen it a couple of months earlier for $550 at the San Francisco International Book Dealers' show. Slight round stain on the cover. This book presents the first six books of Caxton's work, ...
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. ...
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 ...
