Aesop's Fables, Volume II
(Royal Fireworks Press, 1997)
See the original printing by Trillium Press under 1985/88. Apparently nothing is changed here except the publisher, copyright date, and cover. The cover is now a bright yellow with a colored picture of FG. The price has ...
Aesop's Fables (down to up spine)
(McLoughlin Brothers, 1900?)
This book is the same as that listed under the same title and year except that it prints McLoughlin Bros., New York on its cover, presents a leaf-pattern on its end papers, and has the title on the spine read from the ...
The Fables of Aesop With a Life of the Author and Embellished with one Hundred Twelve Plates, Vol. I
(John Stockdale, 1793)
This is the best of three two-volume Stockdales and one of two of them acquired within a month of each other. All three pairs differ in several ways from what I believe to be a true first, listed under 1793. Though these ...
Aesop's Fables in Words of One Syllable
(James Miller Publisher,, 1869)
At long last I have worked my way back to a first edition of this important book. It is inscribed in 1879. I believe I have the book as done now by six different publishers. Blue cloth with gilt, including a lovely ...
The Lion and the Mouse: An Aesop's Fable.
(Templar Publishing, 1995)
What a delightful gift! See my comments under the same year for the edition published in the USA by Milbrook Press. A special feature of this copy is of course the signature of the artist.
Never-Grow-Old-Stories Retold from Aesop's Fables
(Lyons & Carnahan, 1925)
This book contains thirty-eight of the best stories told for very little boys and girls who like cats and dogs, and lions and bears (at a proper distance), and who never tire of watching them or reading about their wise ...
Fables: Aesop
(H.M. Caldwell Company, 1894)
This small (4½ x 6½) edition shares several curious features with the other five like it in format: Home Book Company 1894/95? (plain tan cover with title); Montgomery Ward 1894/98 (La Belle Library on cover); Caldwell ...
Fables of Aesop
(Churchill RoadJoseph Tetley & Co., 1896)
Here is a lovely little advertising book with material lifted straight from the Jacobs/Heighway edition of 1894, right down to emblems and frontispiece. The advertising is for Tetley's Teas, and A.W. Miller of Auburn, ME, ...
Aesop's Fables
(Whitman Publishing Company, 1934)
The outside spine of this book is not strong, but internally it is in good condition. I like this book. It has forty-eight fables, each with a simple but accurate engraving that catches the nuance of this telling. The ...
The Fables of Aesop With a Life of the Author and Embellished with one Hundred Twelve Plates, Vol. I
(Printed for John Stockdale Piccadilly,, 1793)
This is one of the most impressive treasures I have found. Unless I am deceived, it is at last a true first edition Stockdale. See 1793/1810? for two pairs of volumes found earlier that keep the 1793 title-page but were ...
