Fun with Fables: Adapted from Aesop's Fables (Pop-up)
(Braum, 2000)
This 4 x 6¼ pop-up book has several noteworthy characteristics. First, the five pop-up pictures are all intact and functioning. That quality is rare in my experience of pop-up books, which are among the most fragile of ...
Aesop's Fables in Words of One Syllable
(Felt & Dillingham, 1868)
Wonders never cease. Over years I had worked my way back to what I thought was a first edition of Godolphin's work, published by James Miller in NY in 1869. Then I found an undated version by Cassell, Petter, and Galpin ...
Aesop's Fables
(Stead's Publishing House, 1911)
Strange things happen when one delves into publishing history. This is a pamphlet of at least 62 pages, followed by four pages of advertisements. I could not find a match with any of the Books for Bairns volumes of Aesop's ...
Ein Kalender für das Jahr 1933 Mit Fabeln nach Aesop und Anderen (Cover: Klingspor Kalendar für das Jahr 1933)
(Gedruckt und herausgegeben von Gebr. Klingspor, 1933)
This is one of the happiest finds of my twenty-five years of collecting. I first knew of this book from Anne Stevenson Hobbs' book on books in the Victoria and Albert Museum. I had it in my hands when I visited the museum. ...
Aesop's Fables
(New York Publishing Company, 1895)
This book has identical plates with the American News edition (1885?) without Krilof's fables. This book has an embossed maroon cloth cover, much thicker pages than that edition, and pages gilt at the top. Can the plates ...
Aesop's Fables: A New Version Chiefly from the Original Sources
(John Murray, 1867)
This little book represents my first copy of Wolf's revision of Tenniel's work. Tenniel's original 1848 work published by Murray apparently got such a negative response that, before reissuing it in 1851, the publisher ...
Aesop's Fables for Young People
(W. Foulsham & Co. Ltd.,, 1945)
About 240 fables are arranged in alphabetical order, each with an italicized moral at the end. Thus we go from Aesop Plays to Young Mole and Her Mother. There are about twelve black-and-white illustrations of an ...
Fables from Aesop And Others
(Blackie & Son Limited, 1950)
A small book with oilcloth covers, with a green and gray pastoral illustration on the front cover. Otherwise unillustrated. The life of Aesop, which takes up the first forty pages, seems only slightly revised and expurgated. ...
Aesop's Fables
(Geo.S. AppletonGeorge S. Appleton, 1848)
I cannot believe the proliferation of distinct Tenniel editions! This one represents a wonderful gift. A quick check has already revealed several illustrations different from, but modeled on, the original 1848 illustrations. ...
Aesop's Fables, with 100 Illustrations
(J.B. Lippincott, 1916)
This book represents a major find, for which I am strongly indebted to Mary. This copy got me going on a major project, and I found Opper worthy of careful analysis. See my extensive comments on the first edition (1916). ...
