The Fables of Aesop
(Home Book Company, 1894)
This small (4½ x 6½) edition with a plain tan cover and the book's title shares several curious features with the other five like it in format: Montgomery Ward 1894/98 (La Belle Library on cover); Caldwell 1894/1900? ...
The Fables of Aesop
(Montgomery Ward & Co., 1894)
This small (4½ x 6½) edition shares several curious features with the other five like it in format: Home Book Company 1894/95? (plain tan cover with title); Caldwell 1894/1900? (red roses against a gold background on ...
The Fables of Aesop
(Macmillan Company, 1894)
This book has strong similarities to the first printing in its lovely black vine-and-leaf pattern stamped onto its red cover (but not spine). This edition lacks the gold lettering found there on cover and spine--and found ...
The Fables of Aesop: Selected, Told Anew and Their History Traced by Joseph Jacobs.
(Macmillan, 1964)
Meg got this for me from her Berkeley High library. I love any illustrations that Levine does; the added spice here is that he later (1975) turned his hand to a fuller illustration. One can trace the genesis of some of ...
The Fables of Aesop as first printed by William Caxton in 1484 with those of Avian, Alfonso, and Poggio, now again edited and induced by Joseph Jacobs.
(Burt Franklin, 1889)
The Same as Volume 1 of the David Nutt entry. Do not miss the index (225) and especially the synopsis (229). I am eager to try some of Jacobs' scholarship. There is a wonderful pedigree of Caxton's Aesop facing 1.
The Fables of Aesop
(©1966 Legacy Press. Ann Arbor: University Microfilms, Inc.: Xerox., 1894)
Is it not curious that this publisher would choose to go back to Jacobs and Heighway the very year that Schocken picked them up? An unidentified Legacy Library editor G.H. writes an introductory note to the reader. ...
Best Loved Fables of Aesop/Nonsense Alphabets.
(Grolier Society, 1967)
This book is identical (in larger format with enlarged and relatively good illustrations) with the Avenel edition (1967?) of the same name, except that it also contains Edward Lear's Nonsense Alphabets upside down and going ...
Best Loved Fables of Aesop
(Grolier Society, 1967)
Identical with the Crown/Avenel hardbound book (1967?). I have copies with both a blue-on-white front cover and -- in summer of 1989 for $3 -- a white-on-blue front cover.
Reynard the Fox
(Abelard-Schuman, 1969)
Here is the distinctive Lord style that I have enjoyed so much in his 1989 Aesop's Fables. This edition is divided into sixteen episodes and is richly illustrated with Lord's work. Tibert the Cat caught in the priest's ...
Listen to Mr. Aesop
(J.C. Funk, 1924)
This pamphlet is fascinating not only as a period piece that advertises the Oakland automobile and uses phone numbers that are anywhere between two and five digits long. It also is fascinating for the way it matches an ...
