The Fables of Aesop
(Montgomery Ward & Co., 1894)
This small (4½ x 6½) edition shares several curious features with the other five like it in format: Home Book Company 1894/95? (plain tan cover with title); Caldwell 1894/1900? (red roses against a gold background on ...
Aesop's Funky Fables
(Viking Penguin, 1998)
Colored illustrations and black-and-white alternate in presenting ten fables in the slick, large-format hip book. As might be expected from the Funky in the title and from the sleazy fox on the title-page's couch, there ...
Aesop's Fables: The Holland Edition of 1659
(The Halford Sauce Company, 1897)
As often happens, something I had never seen before has reappeared within six months. And as often happens, I thought I was buying a second copy of exactly the same booklet I already had. It turns out that this is the ...
Aesop's Fables Profusely Illustrated: Large Type Edition Complete and Unabridged
(Franklin Watts, Inc.: A Division of Grolier Incorporated, 1970?)
This 8½ x 11 book is fascinating because it is a large-print reprint of the 5 x 7¾ book Aesop's Fables Profusely Illustrated published by many different publishers around 1910. The one I am comparing it with right now is ...
Aesop's Fables for Little Readers
(T. Fisher Unwin, 1880?)
See my comments on the original edition. There seems to be no indication in this book of when this second edition appeared, but then even the first edition was undated! Here are the differences I note from the first ...
Aesop's Fables for Little Readers
(T. Fisher Unwin, 1880?)
Fifty-six fables are numbered here in a book with a weak spine. Ford does sepia throughout, starting with a frontispiece of The Old Tree and the Gardener and a sepia title-page: is that Aesop telling children stories about ...
Aesop's Fables
(Rand McNally & Company, 1972)
This may be my first flip out book, in which a two-page spread includes a page that folds out to make a triptych. The pages are well matched to create two different pictures using the image on the left, one with the ...
Aesop's Movie Fables: Cartoons, Stories, Song, Laughs, Morals, Fun, Movie Flips
(Sonnet Publishing Co., 1931)
Pages 9-10 of 16 are missing in this large-format three-color delight with some illustration on all but one page and a full-page illustration on the front and back covers, the inside-back cover, and 1, 8, and 13. I do not ...
Phaedri Augusti Liberti Fabularum Aesop. Libri Quinque
(In Bibliopolo novo aul. Et acad., nunc apud Tobiam Loeffler, 1786)
This little book (7 x 4.5) of lxxii + 120 pages plus a four-page T of C at the back is called here a shortened version of a larger work by Desbillons. Presumably, notes and commentary here have been reduced. Of course, ...
Aesop's Fables (FC on cover, no colored illustrations)
(Collins' Clear-Type PressThe Children's Press, 1922?)
This is a derivative version--shorter and no doubt cheaper--of Rountree's works from The Children's Press (1922?) and Collins' Clear-Type Press (1922?). This book has only twenty fables, no colored illustrations, and a ...
