Aesop's Fables in Rhyme
(Philip R. Bucci, 1936)
This book looks like the privately published work of a devotee. The book presents eighty-two fables in rhymed verse. Perhaps a third of them are illustrated. The rhythm seems to tend heavily to anapests. I do not think ...
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 ...
Aesop's Fables
(Cambridge University Press? (George Harrap?)s.n.], 1936)
This is an exceeding strange book. It has the basic marks of Bodemann #434.1, Gooden's classic edition of Aesop. But it lacks any Gooden illustrations beyond the excellent initials for each fable. Bodemann shows a ...
The Aesop's Fables
(Xianggang qi ming shu ju, 1930)
This is a rare, ephemeral find! This 5 x 7 1/4 soft-cover paperbound book has some 290 pages. Each of 299 fables is printed in English on the left side and in Chinese characters on the right side. I cannot identify the ...
The Tortoise and the Hare and other stories from Aesop's Fables retold for very young readers.
(Hampster, 1935)
This book is perhaps more historically than artistically interesting. The Cheating Fortune-Teller is new to me. The wife is the real culprit in GGE. The Comedian and the Countryman might be the best for both story and ...
Fables from Aesop Compliments of Mrs. Winslow's Soothing Syrup
(Anglo-American Drug Co.NA, 1935)
This is a mid-size (5 1/2 x 7 1/2) pamphlet of twelve pages containing ten large sepia illustrations, each above a fable, a moral, and a comment on Mrs. Winslow's syrup. The patterns for the earliest illustrations here ...
Aesop's Fables
(Viking Press, 1933)
T of C at the front and an AI at the rear. About twenty great wood engravings, starting from the reading donkey on the front cover of the first printing! The engravings are particularly distinct and lively in the first ...
Aesop's Fables: Mishle Izop: 312 Tales in Hebrew and English
(B.W. Hecht, 1938)
This is the first work in Hebrew to contain nearly all of Aesop's Fables. The Hebrew renderings are original: they have no connection with those of any other author. There is a good clean start to a book! It is meant ...
Favorite Fables from Aesop
(Rand McNally & Company, 1939)
I have three different versions of this book and will keep two copies of this first version in the collection. I believe that this Powell's copy and the copy from Dorothy Meyer may be the most original. The two show these ...
