The Tortoise and the Hare Continued
(Discover Writing Press, 2002)
This is a clever book. The key to its approach is the word continued. The story never stops developing. One reads near the beginning Grown ups do enjoy stories which tell children how to behave, but they sometimes leave ...
Aesop's Fables
(Sterling Publishing Co., 2009)
This is a fine new book of Aesop's fables! The art is angular and detailed in the style of Lane Smith, featuring elongated figures with stiltlike limbs. Facing the beginning T of C is a quilt of thirty-six details from ...
Aesop's Fables
(David Bogue, 1868)
This book is internally apparently identical with the 1868 edition by Strahan that lists Edward Garrett as its editor. See my notes there. The cover has changed to a simple image of CP with Aesop's Fables above and below ...
Aesop's Fables in Words of One Syllable
(A.L. Burt Company Publ.,, 1895)
This book uses the plates from another version by Burt dated in the same year. See my comments there. Here there is a different cover (WS in color) and frontispiece (colored The Cat and the Mice). The title-page looks ...
Äsopische Fabeln mit moralischen Lehren und Betrachtungen
(Diogenes Taschenbuch, 1757)

Aesop's Fables
(Golden Press: Western Publishing, 1965)
This is the first acquaintance I have had with a paperback version of this wonderful book. I am surprised that I have not run into it earlier. See my comments on the 1965 hardbound edition. I find no differences from ...
Selections from Aesop's Fables Illustrated with Reproductions of Fifteenth Century Woodcuts
(A. Colish, 1988)
This is perhaps an unusual fine edition in that it does not tell where its publisher has his press. The texts of the forty-nine fables seem to be based, at least in part, on James' version of the fables. There are some ...
Fables of Aesop and others
(T.O.H.P. Burnham, 1863)
Here is a third copy besides the two in the collection. The engravings in the copy from Titles are especially well done. Besides the alphabetical T of C at the beginning, there is an index of subjects at the end. It ...
Three Hundred and Fifty Aesop's Fables.
(J.B. Lippincott and Co., 1884)
Here is a second copy of this fragile book. Mr. Kniazev saw the Georgetown magazine article, got my phone number from the university, and called to offer this book. It has been very helpful because it gave me a firm first ...
Animal Fables
(Kodansha International, 1993)
Here is an extra copy of this booklet. This is a very well organized booklet. There are ten fables (BC, AD, LM, FG, SW, DLS, BW, TB, DS, and TH). Each has two or three illustrations. There are notes at the end for ...
