Das Leben Aesops
(Dieterich'sche Verlagsbuchhandlung, 1974)
A very nicely done little book, with a touch of color on its cloth cover's design and on its spine. The version of the life used is, wisely, that published by Ben Edwin Perry from the tenth-century Manuscript 397 of the ...
The Hidden Picture Book of Aesop's Fables.
(Boyds Mills PressDistributed by St. Martin's Press, 1995)
It is high time that a good hidden-picture book of the fables appear. This one is good! Thirteen well-told fables, each with a full-page illustration cleverly hiding perhaps a dozen objects. I find the art well done. ...
The Fables of Aesop (?)
(T.Y. Crowell, 1910)
The text plates for this small edition are identical, even including pagination, with those in both editions of The Fables of Aesop (1930?), though this edition adds seven illustrations after Billinghurst and has smaller ...
Aesop's Fables Together with the Life of Aesop.
(Rand McNally,, 1897)
Apparently a reworking of the 1897 Rand McNally edition. See that for comments. This book adds some Billinghurst illustrations and three from an unknown source (frontispiece, 46, and 58). All the non-Heighway illustrations ...
Aesop's Fables
(M.A. Donohue & Co., 1900)
This book seems to be a surprising congeries of elements from other editions. The front cover has the same central illustration of WC that was used by Donohue on its 1892? edition, which also contains the same apostrophe-less ...
Little Folk's Fables from Aesop
(McLoughlin Brothers, 1940)
Here is an even cleaner copy of a slightly different version of a book already in the collection. The back cover there pictured various fairy tale characters with some information at its center. Here the background is ...
Aesop's Fables
(Michael Neugebauer Publishing Ltd., 2013)
I had found the 2012 German original of this lovely book in Mannheim fifteen months ago. This book was pre-ordered through Amazon, and so it is indeed a first impression. I will repeat comments I made there. The book ...
A New Translation of Æsop's Fables, Adorn'd with Cutts
(Tho(mas) Tebb/Gale Ecco Print Editions, 1708)
Here is apparently a print-on-demand facsimile found at a sharply reduced price. I ordered the book after I enjoyed cataloguing the original. Before I include my comments from that book, I have a theory that the xerox ...
The Stork and the Fox
(Henry Holt, 1993)
Good, lively art in a well-told story. The fox is a practical joker. Ms. Stork buys a new dress for the occasion and shows off her long neck with the strands of a pearl necklace. Invited in turn, Mr. Fox answers I'm ...
The Cat and the Mice
(Henry Holt, 1993)
Good, lively art in a well-told story. The book starts the story with a wonderful picture of the large family of mice not peaceful and happy. There is a wealth of anthropomorphic detail here in the description of the ...
