The Fables of Aesop
(Quality Paperback Book Club, 1995)
This is a curious little treasure. It starts with a nostalgic cover of a fox looking up at a crow, a rooster strutting among hens, and a deer looking at his reflection in the water. But what is a mouse doing under another ...
The Fables of Aesop.
(A.L. Burt, 1900?)
A wonderfully curious gift. As Tom points out, the book starts with a nice cover design modelled on Heighway's The Fisher and the Little Fish (116) with the addition of a background including modern ships. Adding ...
Fables from Aesop and Others
(Transatlantic Arts, 1944?)
A beautiful book that I had read about in Ash and Higton's Aesop's Fables: A Classic Illustrated Edition (1990) but had had little hope of finding. They give the 1944 date, which I cannot find in the book itself. The ...
The Isopo Laurenziano
(The Lawrence Press Co., 1899)
A good text, well placed and edited, of a Florence manuscript which includes forty-six fables and is an Italian derivative of Marie de France. (Other Italian fable manuscripts were based principally on Walter of England, ...
Fables of Aesop
(Bay View Publishing Co.[Bay View Pub. Co.], 1894)
This book compares in rough fashion with the four mentioned together under 1894/1901?, but it has a number of distinctive features. The other four begin fables on 26 and end on 202 with And this is the end of Aesop's ...
Aesop's Fables
(Robert B. Collins, 1848)
This book, which is in fair condition, makes it into the collection for one reason. It is an exact replica of a volume with the same bibliographical data given to me by Jerry McKevitt. But the printer of that copy had ...
The Fables of Aesop. Complete, with Text Based upon Croxall, La Fontaine and L'Estrange.
(A.L. Burt Company, 1920?)
This book is identical with one already in the collection, purchased from Brattle Books, but I give this copy a separate listing because that other copy includes hand-colored illustrations. This book is just as it came ...
Aesop's Fables Literally Translated from the Greek
(The American News Company, 1885?)
This copy of the Peoples Edition has a different colored cover (brown cloth instead of blue) and has better runs of the illustrations, and so I will include it in the collection. Like it, this book stops dead at 257 with ...
Aesop's Fables
(Grosset & Dunlap, 1947)
I already have a number of different versions of Fritz Kredel's book in the collection. This one belongs to the group with a large format. It has what I believe is called a Library Binding. The cover is a plain heavy ...
Aesop's Fables
(Hallmark Editions, 1971)
I already had a copy of this book with a frontispiece whose background is black when I found this copy whose background is white! The book is otherwise identical. Might the printer have had a bad day and forgotten to add ...
