Fables of Aesop
(Penguin Books, 1954)
This book is larger than the 1954/64 edition I know in this country. The print itself has grown, and thus this printing is easier to read than earlier printings. This may be a printing restricted from distribution in the ...
A Certain of Aesop's Fables Drawn into English Verse.
(Privately printed, 1926)
Now here is an anomaly of a book. I cannot remember where I got it or when, but I find that its price was £10. What kind of publisher is an address? The book must be very rare if it comes from a press so private! I ...
Aesop's Fables
(M.A. Donohue & Co., 1892)
This book seems to be the predecessor of Donohue and Henneberry's Aesop's Fables of 1896. This edition stops at 111, uses some different full-page illustrations, has no date, lacks the Henneberry part of the publisher, ...
Aesop's Fables
(Brimax, 1993)
This edition was discovered by Mark Anderson, a student in my Fable Literature course. It includes twenty-five of the sixty-three fables found in Kincaid's volume of the same title from Checkerboard in 1989. There ...
Iani Novák Aesopia/Jan Novák: Aesopia.
(Sodalitas Ludis Latinis FaciundisSodalitas Ludis Latinis. Institut für Klassische Philologie der Universität München, 1989)
A delightful pamphlet featuring Introitus, Exitus, and six fables in between. Jan Novák had fled from Czechoslovakia, apparently after the putting down of the 1968 Prague Spring. He wrote these fables in ...
Aesop's Fables: A New Revised Version From Original Sources.
(Worthington Company, 1887)
Almost identical with the 1884 Allison edition. This book has a different cover and no gilt edges. See my extensive comments there. The next in this tradition then is the thinner Phoenix edition of 1892. I think this ...
Aesop's Fables
(London: William Heinemann/NY: Doubleday, Page, and Co., 1912)
T of C and list of illustrations. Both the colored and black-and-white illustrations are very well done. The colored illustrations come alive in this early edition, e.g., The Crab and His Mother, The Blackamoor, 2P, Venus ...
A Selection of Aesop's Fables
(Castle Book Murray Group of Companies,Castle Books: Murray, 1952)
A colored reprint of the 1952 edition with a different cover. Another reprint in 1974 has the same cover as this book but does the illustrations only in black-and-white. The three together say something in the history ...
Fables of Aesop, and Others(?)
([s.n.], 1840)
This little volume is lacking a number of things, including its title-page, Fables II-VI, and the last 1½ fables. If it followed the tradition of similar Croxall editions, also lacking are a frontispiece, a preface, and ...
The Ant and the Dove: An Aesop Tale Retold.
(Childrens Press, 1989)
A very nicely executed book. The colored art is crisp and lively; the designs move nicely beyond the borders of the picture. The net-preparing man wears Oshkosh coveralls. The big bite is wonderfully pictured on 25. In ...
