Les Fables de La Fontaine
(Éditées specialement pour les Magasins du Bon Marché, 1912)
This book reduplicates three editions that I already have listed under 1897, 1901, and 1907. All three of those have a date on their title-page. This volume is without a date there, but there are two suggestions of a ...
Masterpieces of the World's Best Literature, Vol. 1
(Classic Publishing Company, 1910)
This first volume of this long series handles Addison to Blackmore. Aesop is third in line -- after Aeschylus -- and has five fables here: DLS WSC, TMCM, WL, and BS. The book's format is small: about 3½ x 6. There is ...
Aventuras de Animales
(Ramón Sopena, 1935)
The first surprise in this book is that its front cover shows an Approbación Ecclesiástica! A second surprise is the lovely array of illustrations: several engaging full-color full-page illustrations, some black-and-white ...
Aesop Cop, Volume One
(Tomorrow John Press, 2011)
The back cover of this 40-page booklet speaks of an Aesop-inspired morality poem about notable crimes. Is that forward by Handy a deliberate play on the standard foreword? In it Handy, editor of tinytowntimes.com, a blog ...
Fables de Florian
(Antoine Auguste Renouard, 1812)
Bodemann lists this edition as #218.1 and refers to it as a Gesamtausgabe mit110 Fabeln. The frontispiece contains five cameos. Bodemann incorrectly -- at least for this copy -- says that there are 110 lithographs. There ...
Fables de Florian
(Chez Genets Jeune, 1821)
Nouvelle édition, ornée de figures. This diminutive but complete edition (3¼ x 5¼) is not in Bodemann. The British Library seems to have an edition of Florian published by Genets Jeune in 1808. There are four illustrations ...
Masterpieces of the World's Best Literature
(Classic Publishing Co., 1910)
The Aesop section of this book comes at the beginning, just after those offering works of Joseph Addison and Aeschylus (31-34). The fables offered are DLS, WSC, TMCM, WL, and BS. The last is attributed to James. This ...
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 ...
Fables de La Fontaine
(Editions G.P., 1949)
This book is the fourth distinct version I have found. It has the internal features of the book I have listed under 1949/1956? but it has a different dust-jacket. The dust jacket here includes references to new publications ...
The Book of Fables in Prose and Verse
(Kiggins and Kellogg, 1845)
This is a second copy of a book I have already catalogued, only the blue pictorial wraps there have become tan pictorial wraps here. The advertisements on the back proclaim the same prices. My price for this copy was ...
