The Baby's Own Aesop
(Robert Frederick Ltd, 1994)
An unacknowledged reprint of the Routledge edition of 1887. This edition has a nice puffy cover. Unfortunately, it leaves out nine pages of fables. The missing fables include The Lazy Housemaids, The Snake and the ...
The Fables of Aesop in Words of One Syllable.
(Henry Altemus Co., 1900)
This book is a triumph of pirating! The very first story, WL, comes straight from Godolphin. Note that Altemus has used the same text in The Fables of Aesop (1899), both in and outside the Altemus' Young People's Library ...
Favourite Animal Stories
(Octopus Books, 1976)
Pavlin and Seda are familiar from their Aesop's Fables of 1975 (Artia) and 1980 (Octopus). Here we have The Mouse and the Elephant, The Two Goats, The Fox and the Raven, TH, The Eagle and the Owl, and The Fox, the Monkey ...
The Fables of Aesop. Complete, with Text Based upon Croxall, La Fontaine and L'Estrange.
(A.L. Burt Company, 1910)
Compared to an adjacent listing from the same publisher, this edition has a different spine layout, cover color (red, not green), series, and frontispiece (WC from Billinghurst, unacknowledged). As does that other Burt ...
Fibber's Fables: Stories for Children
(Horizon House Publishers, 1977)
In his preface, Boytim explains that his fables are simply Aesop's stories retold in today's language for today's boys and girls. There is a difference. I have given them a Christian lesson and tried to illustrate biblical ...

Here are one-hundred-and-twenty-eight fables presented on facing pages in English and Japanese, with occasional simple black-and-white illustrations. There is a T of C on 3-9. At the end there are some exercises, an ...
The Birds the Beasts, and the Bat
(The Quail Hill Press, 1983)
Here is a beautifully bound miniature almost 2 square. There are printer's designs rather than illustrations along the way, including geometric designs on the endpapers. With the red title there is a lovely little black ...
Fables of a Jewish Aesop
(David R. Godine Publisher,Nonpareil Books: David R. Godine, 2001)
I have a hardbound copy of the 1967 original publication from which this paperback is reprinted. This edition adds an essay by David Hadas. Let me repeat some of my comments from that edition. This is a curious but ...
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 ...
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 ...
