Better Homes and Gardens Story Book
(Meredith Publishing Co., 1950)
LM, GA, and BC, with illustrations for the first two and text for all three from the The Aesop for Children (Rand McNally, 1919). Otherwise a lovely book in good condition. There are selections from Lear, Milne, Stevenson, ...
Childcraft in Fourteen Volumes.
(Field Enterprises, 1949)
Eleven fables at the end of the book. Seven versions are holdovers from the 1931/47 Childcraft edition and thus come from Jacobs; the four that are new come from Aesop's Fables (1944), edited by Elizabeth Stones. Thus ...
First Fairy Tales
(Charles E. Merrill, 1946)

Belling the Cat & Other Stories
(Golden Press, 1960)
A small-format kids' book also including The Little Red Hen and The Rabbit's Mistake. I like this cat with yellow eyes and red fez. A nice text for children. Five pages on BC.
The Rand McNally Book of Favorite Nursery Classics.
(Rand McNally, 1952)
A large-format collection. Thirty pages of Aesop's fables. All the illustrations are so cute that it is hard to find Aesop among these cuddlies. The fox in The Fox and the Goat looks like the cuddly fellow in ...
Story Wagon
(L.W. Singer, 1960)
A children's book with enjoyable colored illustrations of MSA (84). The language is very simple. The ending is great: Now--the man always walks, the boy always walks, the donkey always walks.
Childcraft: The How and Why Library.
(Field Enterprises Educational Corp., 1964)
The five fables (76-84) apparently use the Jacobs translation used in the 1931/47 and 1949 Childcraft editions. There is a strange melange of illustrators here, several using photographs. The illustrators are acknowledged ...
