Aesop's Fables
(Lothrop Publishing Company, 1901?)
This book is almost identical with another I have from the same publisher, but which I bought from Don Dupley in Omaha in January of 1993. Like it, this book has FC in strong colors on its front-cover. However it has on ...
Aesop's Fables
(Lothrop Publishing Company, 1901?)
I am very happy to get a copy of Rundell's version, quoted by Hobbs on 102. The Griset illustrations are well done here. Still, this book's special offering lies in the four full-color illustrations. These often render ...
The Fables of Aesop
(H.M. Caldwell Company, 1885?)
This is an unusual volume. Be careful! It borrows the cover, title-page format, and ten colored illustrations from another version by the same publisher and even in the same series (Three Hundred Aesop's Fables). But ...
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
(National Library Association, 1883?)
This book is bibliographically almost a perfect match for one I have listed under 1883, published by John B. Alden in New York. Let me list their differences. This book has the same size page, but is almost twice as ...
The Medici Aesop
(The New York Public Library, 1488?)
This book was published in a hardbound version by Harry N. Abrams in 1989. The lovely illustrations remain as precisely rendered here as there. In a curious move, Adele Westbrook, editor of the hardbound version, is not ...
Three Animal Fables Selected from Aesop.
(Thorsons Publishers, 1930?)
This is a second copy of this delightful book. Its binding is blue rather than gray and is appreciably stronger. So I have made a second record and will keep both in the collection. This copy has a strange scent: a ...
Texas Aesop Fables
(Pelican Publishing Company, 2008)
This landscape-formatted book cleverly adapts Aesopic fables. It has 28 unpaginated pages with a fable or two on each page. Each fable has a colored illustration. The Texas part of the book lies in local placement, ...
The Rabbit and the Turtle: Aesop's Fables Retold and Illustrated by Eric Carle
(Orchard Books: Scholastic, 2008)
The information facing the title-page indicates that the stories here come from Eric Carle's Treasury of Classic Stories for Children, published in 1988. Some of them appeared, it says, in Twelve Tales from Aesop, published ...
Bat's Big Game
(Albert Whitman and Company, 2008)
This happens to be the six-thousandth book in the collection. There is a short statement on the verso of the title-page about the history of this story. It begins with Aesop and Motif B261.1 in Stith Thompson. The animals ...
H Kota me ta Xrysa Auga (The Goose and the Golden Eggs)
(Rekos EPE: Susaeta Ediciones SA, 1999)
This booklet is one of twelve published by Rekos in Greek, apparently upon the designs done by Susaeta for a European-language edition. Its sixteen pages display excellent and lively colored illustrations. Notice how ...
