Aesop's Fables
(Golden Galley Press Limited, 1948)
I am surprised that I had not heard of this little book before. It offers one hundred numbered fables on 74 pages. It promises but does not have four colored plates. There are fourteen black-and-white illustrations. ...
Selections from Aesop's Fables Illustrated with Reproductions of Fifteenth Century Woodcuts
(A. Colish, 1988)
This is perhaps an unusual fine edition in that it does not tell where its publisher has his press. The texts of the forty-nine fables seem to be based, at least in part, on James' version of the fables. There are some ...
Aesop's Fables
(The Minerva Press & Hunkydory Designs Limited, 1974)
See my comments on the original 1895 version, which this splendid little book reproduces right down to its endpapers. The cover is green now, but it reproduces the same wonderful gold embossed illustration of a stork and ...
The Lion and the Mouse: An Aesop Fable Retold and Illustrated by Bernadette Watts
(North-South Books, 2000)
©2000 by Nord-Süd Verlag AG, Gossau Zürich, and first published in Switzerland under the title Der Löwe und die Maus. This lovely oversized edition starts in a new way: a playful lion cub is awakened by a mouse scampering ...
A Hundred Aesop's Fables in Verse
(A.M.P. Dawson, Rowlands, 1957)
I am amazed a year later that I paid $58 for a little book like this. No doubt I was following my rule: If you have not seen it before, take it now! The book starts with a T of C and a list of the seventeen black-and-white ...
Aesop's Fables, Part II (28)
(F.A. Owen Publishing Company, 1906)
This booklet in poor condition seems a predecessor of the booklet I have listed under 1905 and titled More Fables from Aesop. There are some mysteries here for some book historian to investigate. How can an older book ...
Fábulas de Esopo
(Editorial Everest, S.A., 1996)
I have several different editions of this book in English. I am surprised that it took so long for this popular edition to get into Spanish. My favorite images are still FG and the untitled last image of the fox on 32. ...
The Fables of Aesop Paraphras'd in Verse, and adorned with Sculpture
(Printed by Thomas Warren for Andrew Crook, 1651)
Bodemann #70.1. Here is the costliest book in my collection. I never thought I would have a chance at it! This book has lost its binding, though its boards are still present. After an epistle dedicatory, a tribute by ...

Aesopicks or a Second Collection of Fables Paraphras'd in Verse, Adorned with Sculpture, and Illustrated with Annotations
(Printed for T. Basset [etc.]Printed for T. Basset, R. Clavel, and R. Chiswel at the George in Fleetstreet, at the Peacock, and the Rose and Crown in St. Paul's Church-yard, 1675)
Bodemann #76.1 is the first edition of this work. I take it that the first edition was a large-format work. I suspect that the annotations there were done in the margin. Here Androcleus and The Ephesian Matron are the ...
