Aesop's Fables
(W.B. Conkey, 1930)
This book is absolutely identical with the Homewood edition (1930?) of the same title except for the presence here of a frontispiece colored from Billinghurst's The Fox and the Goat. That same colored illustration ...
Aesop's Fables: Mishle Izop: 312 Tales in Hebrew and English
(B.W. Hecht, 1938)
This is the first work in Hebrew to contain nearly all of Aesop's Fables. The Hebrew renderings are original: they have no connection with those of any other author. There is a good clean start to a book! It is meant ...
The Tortoise and the Hare and other stories from Aesop's Fables retold for very young readers.
(Hampster, 1935)
This book is perhaps more historically than artistically interesting. The Cheating Fortune-Teller is new to me. The wife is the real culprit in GGE. The Comedian and the Countryman might be the best for both story and ...
Favorite Fables from Aesop
(Rand McNally & Company, 1939)
I have three different versions of this book and will keep two copies of this first version in the collection. I believe that this Powell's copy and the copy from Dorothy Meyer may be the most original. The two show these ...
Aesop's Fables Hankie Book
(W.R. Woodard Co. by permission of Van Beuren Corporation, 1931)
This is really a coloring book based on Genuine Aesop's Fables Film Characters. What it has to do with a hankie neither the seller nor I can figure out. It measures slightly larger than 10 x 11 and has seven pages of ...
Fables from Aesop Compliments of Mrs. Winslow's Soothing Syrup
(Anglo-American Drug Co.NA, 1935)
This is a mid-size (5 1/2 x 7 1/2) pamphlet of twelve pages containing ten large sepia illustrations, each above a fable, a moral, and a comment on Mrs. Winslow's syrup. The patterns for the earliest illustrations here ...
The Aesop's Fables
(Xianggang qi ming shu ju, 1930)
This is a rare, ephemeral find! This 5 x 7 1/4 soft-cover paperbound book has some 290 pages. Each of 299 fables is printed in English on the left side and in Chinese characters on the right side. I cannot identify the ...
Aesop's Fables
(Viking Press, 1933)
T of C at the front and an AI at the rear. About twenty great wood engravings, starting from the reading donkey on the front cover of the first printing! The engravings are particularly distinct and lively in the first ...
Three Animal Fables Selected from Aesop.
(Thorsons Publishers, 1930)
This is a second copy of this delightful book. Its binding is blue rather than gray and is appreciably stronger. So I have made a second record and will keep both in the collection. This copy has a strange scent: a ...
Fables d'Ésope
(A l'Enseigne du Pot CassePubliée sous la direction de Constantin Castera, 1934)
This is the sort of book for which this collection exists! At first it looks like nothing more than a beaten-up old paperback, remarkable perhaps for the fox who scratches his head on the cover while the stork eats out ...
