Aesop A Thainig Go h-Eirinn Cnuasach A II
(The Irish Book Company, 1921)
I found this book at the same time that I found a book that is probably contemporary from a different publisher but also presenting fables in Gaelic. I have that other book, Aesop A Thainig Go h-Eirinn, also by Peadar Ua ...
Aesop's Fables
(J. Coker & Co., Ltd., 1921)
A treasure I am glad finally to have. Noble illustrated Vredenburg's fables (1920?) in a different style; frankly I prefer those illustrations to these. The six colored illustrations (in one-third and two-third page ...
Aesop's Fables
(Harper & Brothers, 1927)
Here is a very curious book. I had not known of it until I saw a copy advertised through Old Friends in Portland for $130. At almost the same time, Greg mentioned it to me from a computer listing of his. Pictorial black ...
Aesop's Fables
(George G. Harrap & Company Ltd., 1921)
This book is closest to the Crowell edition I have listed under 1921?/1925?. Like it, it has illustrations of TH (22) and FS (84). Contrast with the British Coker edition (1921/33), which lacks those two illustrations. ...
The Fables of Aesop
(Books Inc.,, 1925)
Printed from the same plates as my 1930? edition. See the description there. Their differences touch the cute dust-jacket (Aesop's Fables), the pre-title page ( Aesop's Fables 251 Series ), the title page (publisher ...
Aesop's Fables
(J. Coker & Co. Ltd., 1921)
Compare with my Coker edition of 1921/30. This has sharper illustrations. Here there is nothing on the back of the title-page where that has a history of printings. Might this be a first edition? The only item against ...
Aesop's Fables
(Harper & Brothers, 1927)
I had found what I thought to be a first edition of this book earlier from Greg Williams. This copy is, like that, a pictorial black cloth octavo with a colored frontispiece and three other full-page colored illustrations. ...
Aesop's Fables
(Harper & Brothers, 1927)
This book is very similar to two others in the collection. All show a publication date of 1927. Like the Ten Editions book, this edition states First Edition with Louis Rhead's Pictures. Unlike either of those books, ...
Aesop's Fables
(Blue Ribbon BooksHarper & Brothers, 1927)
I presume this is the knock-off version of my adjacent copy of the Harper first edition. This edition has GA on its yellow cover. The only substantial difference here seems to be that the book's spine (but not its ...
Aesop's Fables
(Longmeadow Press: Dilithium Press, 1921)
A pleasing nostalgic edition. Probably a good source for morals (e.g., The creaking wheel gets the oil ). Good black-and-white illustrations of two mice (5) and of the thief and his mother (79). Good colored illustrations ...
