Aesop's Fables (Aesops Fables on cover)
(M.A. Donohue & Co., 1900)
I include this book separately in the collection because of the publishing curiosities it presents. Basically, it is the same book as that listed under the same title, year, and publisher. It has the same cover illustration ...
The Town Mouse and the Country Mouse: An Aesop Fable
(Rand McNally & Company, 1973)
I thought I had this book, and was wrong again! In fact, it is a copy of the much larger book of the same year from the same company. Where that book was 8 x 10¼, this little book is 4¾ x 6½. This book needs thinner ...
The Ass in the Pond
(Ginn and Company Ltd., 1984)
Here is a engaging eight-page pamphlet with stiff covers. It tells the story directly and even sparsely. Do not miss the smile on the ass's face on 5 when he has lost most of his salt. Then notice his chagrined look on ...
The Fables of Aesop. Complete, with Text Based upon Croxall, La Fontaine and L'Estrange.
(A.L. Burt Company, 1920)
This book is interiorly identical with another copy done by Burt for which I have guessed the same year of publication. This copy has a distinctive white cover picturing FS. Like other Burt editions, it adds Heighway's ...
Aesop's Fables Profusely Illustrated
(The World Publishing Co.World Publishing Company, 1910)
Here is a book that is identical in its printing with a dust-jacketed book that is much thinner, even though the two books have the same number of pages. This copy also has a larger cover and larger-margined pages. In ...
Aesop's Fables No. 1
(W.H.C., 1930)
This is a curious little landscape pamphlet with paper wraps and twelve very thin interior pages. On both covers a dapper cigar-smoking mouse faces a country hick mouse with a shepherd's crook. After the inside front ...
Les Fables d'Esope illustrées de gravures sur bois et ornées de titres et lettrines d'apres l'incunable de 1489: LE LIVRE des Subtilles hystoires et fables DE ESOPE
(Les Fermiers Généraux: Editions du CapÉditions du Cap, 1956)
This is a beautifully produced book which I look forward to working with as I learn more about Julien Macho's role in bringing Steinhöwel's edition to people like Caxton. The initials are in red, as are several of the ...
Four Fables from Aesop
(The Hayloft Press, 2001)
How nice to get this book almost hot off the presses! I commend the authors for researching their introduction carefully and for using Perry numbers to identify the four fables they offer. The introduction notes some ...
Aesop's Fables: A New Version, Chiefly from Original Sources, With Fifty Illustrations
(NY: The American News Company/Springfield, OH: Farm and Fireside Company, 1881)
Here is a very lucky find. This 94-page booklet includes perhaps two hundred fables on 9-93 after the typical James Introduction to the Life and Fables of Aesop and before a page of advertisements that continue on the ...
Die Schildkröte und der Hase
(Xenos Verlagsgesellschaft, 1998)
A stop in Wolfenbüttel to find a banana across from the train stop yielded this booklet and a parallel little volume! It seems not to be related to the one other sound-making fable book I am aware of having, The Tortoise ...
