The Fables of Aesop: Selected, told anew and their history traced by Joseph Jacobs

Fables for Little Folk
(George Philip & Son, 1896)
This little (5 x 7½) book of 91 pages will not have changed the world of fables much, I presume. I have found two reviews. The first comes from The Educational Times of February 1, 1896: Equally charming on other lines ...

Aesop's Fables Illustrated
(Samuel R. Wells, 1868)
I have had copies of this little book dated to 1870 and 1870/73. Now I have here a copy, in very good condition, which its seller proclaims as a first edition. It is dated 1868 and inscribed at Christmas that year by ...
The Book of Fables
(Sheldon Blakeman & Co.,, 1850)

Stepping Stones to Literature: A Second Reader.
(Silver Burdett,, 1897)
Aesop's fables are the backbone of this classroom reader: some twenty-eight are presented. The maid (22) carried eggs rather than milk! And She counted her chickens before they were hatched! The book is enhanced ...
