Aesop's Fables: A New Version Chiefly from the Original Sources
(John Murray, 1867)
This little book represents my first copy of Wolf's revision of Tenniel's work. Tenniel's original 1848 work published by Murray apparently got such a negative response that, before reissuing it in 1851, the publisher ...
Aesop's Fables for Young People
(W. Foulsham & Co. Ltd.,, 1945)
About 240 fables are arranged in alphabetical order, each with an italicized moral at the end. Thus we go from Aesop Plays to Young Mole and Her Mother. There are about twelve black-and-white illustrations of an ...

(Swyddfa'r "Genedl Gymreig"Swyddfa'r Genedi Gymreig, 1896)
This book reproduces Books for the Bairns -I that Stead published as the first volume in his Books for the Bairns series in 1896. The page count (62) and illustrations are identical. This copy has glazed pictorial paper ...
The Fables of Aesop: Altemus' Young P
(Henry Altemus, 1899)
Compiled is right! The illustrators in this small, squarish book include Billinghurst, Weir, and Tenniel. The texts come from James and others. The fascinating advertisements for books at the back allow, I believe, ...
Aesop's Fables.
(London: J.M. Dent/NY: E.P. Dutton, 1913)
I am delighted at last to get an early Everyman edition. Compare this edition with that of 1913/42. There are surprising little changes, though the body of the introduction, the fables presented, and their pagination ...
The Tortoise and the Hare
(Scholastic, 1984)
Identical with the adjacent entry except for the change in publisher. That change is also responsible for taking away the Reading Rainbow designation. Otherwise the book seems exactly the same as the Holiday House ...
Aesop's Fables
(Stead's Publishing House, 1911)
Strange things happen when one delves into publishing history. This is a pamphlet of at least 62 pages, followed by four pages of advertisements. I could not find a match with any of the Books for Bairns volumes of Aesop's ...
Ein Kalender für das Jahr 1933 Mit Fabeln nach Aesop und Anderen (Cover: Klingspor Kalendar für das Jahr 1933)
(Gedruckt und herausgegeben von Gebr. Klingspor, 1933)
This is one of the happiest finds of my twenty-five years of collecting. I first knew of this book from Anne Stevenson Hobbs' book on books in the Victoria and Albert Museum. I had it in my hands when I visited the museum. ...
Aesop's Fables in Words of One Syllable
(Felt & Dillingham, 1868)
Wonders never cease. Over years I had worked my way back to what I thought was a first edition of Godolphin's work, published by James Miller in NY in 1869. Then I found an undated version by Cassell, Petter, and Galpin ...
La Tortuga y la Liebre: Una Fábula de Esopo: The Tortoise and the Hare: An Aesop's Fable
(Frances Lincoln Children's BooksFrances Lincoln Limited, 2001)
This is my third bilingual presentation of this fable by the same people, along with one just in English. The other two combine English with French and Polish respectively. This is a landscape-formatted, unpaginated, ...
