Aesop's Fables: Samuel Croxall's Tran
(Limited Editions ClubOxford University Press, 1518)
I went after a second copy of this book because it was being offered so economically on eBay. I think it eluded the notice of other serious seekers. This copy includes from August, 1933, The Monthly Letter of the Limited ...
Book 1: Fables and Rhymes: Aesop and Mother Goose
(Western Publishing House, 1898)
This book is virtually identical with another in the collection published in the same year. There are two clear differences on the title-page. This copy gives the publisher as Western Publishing House in Chicago. There ...
A Book of Fables
(Royle Publications Ltd.,, 1950)
A sideways pamphlet of fifteen fables alternating black-and-white and colored pairs of pages. Some fascinating and different details: A boy scout chides the son for riding the donkey. The old man tips the donkey into a ...
Aesop's Fables
(Mitsui Fudosan, 1992)
These eleven colorful banners were hung in the lobby of 1251 Avenue of the Americas during renovations. Now this volume is dedicated to the tenants, guests, and friends for their patience and understanding during the ...
Three Hundred Aesop's Fables
(H.M. Caldwell Company, 1885)
This is a strange book. Its closest relative is Three Hundred Aesop's Fables and One Hundred Picture Fables (1885?). But this edition's title page does not acknowledge the presence of the second book. It does reproduce ...
Aesop's Fables
(PenguinPuffin Books, 1993)
A reprint in reduced dimensions of the lavish, beautiful first edition of 1981. Though the big format suits Holder's art better, the illustrations here are surprisingly sharp for a smaller work that is a reprint. Worth ...
The Wind and the Sun: Aesop's Fables Retold
(Angus & Robertson, 1951)
In my experience, it is unusual that, as here, the sun starts the argument. The story's form is the poorer version: Whichever one of us can make this poor traveller take off his coat shall be declared the stronger, suggests ...
The Dove and the Ant: Aesop's Fables Retold
(Angus & Robertson, 1951)
Various pages use pastels and black-and-white illustrations. The pastels are particularly charming. My favorite is the two-page spread on which the dove sweeps down to drop a twig for the struggling ant (12-13). This ...
Aesop's Fables, with 100 Illustrations
(J.B. Lippincott, 1916)
This book represents a major find, for which I am strongly indebted to Mary. This copy got me going on a major project, and I found Opper worthy of careful analysis. See my extensive comments on the first edition (1916). ...
Aesop's Fables
(Geo.S. AppletonGeorge S. Appleton, 1848)
I cannot believe the proliferation of distinct Tenniel editions! This one represents a wonderful gift. A quick check has already revealed several illustrations different from, but modeled on, the original 1848 illustrations. ...
