The Fables of Aesop Selected and Told Anew
(DeWolfe Fiske & Co.,, 1910)
Here is yet another reprinting of Jacobs and Heighway. This book (5¼ x 6¾) adds several features that I think I have not yet found in a Jacobs/Heighway edition. First it uses the curious phrase Profusely Illustrated on ...
The Little Red Hen: A Tale about Cooperation
(Reader's Digest Young Families, 2006)
I include this book in the collection not because I think The Little Red Hen should be viewed as a fable but because this volume is part of a series that is labeled Famous Fables. This twenty-page children's picture book ...
The Three Little Pigs: A Tale about Working Hard
(Reader's Digest Young Families, 2006)
This version of the age-old story is true to my childhood memories. There is the fine threesome of building materials: straw and rope; sticks; and bricks. There are the two repeated formulae: Not by the hair of my chinny ...
Indian Fairy Tales
(Dover Publications Inc.,, 1892)
This book, apparently a facsimile of a David Nutt edition of 1892, reproduces, though with different pagination, my 1905? Putnam's edition. See my comments there. I can add to them that The Tiger, the Brahman, and the ...
The Fables of Aesop
(The Macmillan Co., 1894)
Identical with the 1929 printing of the 1894 edition except for the gaudy coloring of the frontispiece (a red fox and yellow grass!), the thick cheap paper, and the notation on the back of the title page that there was a ...
Aesop's Fables
(State Street Press: Borders Group, 2003)
Published by special arrangement with Ann Arbor Media Group. This is a sturdy, well-bound, and attractive little book that reproduces Percy Billinghurst's illustrations without acknowledgement. They come from the Bodley ...
The Fables of Aesop
(Macmillan Company, 1894)
A reprint of the 1894 edition, with a colored frontispiece of FC. Otherwise apparently a standard reprinting.
The Fables of Aesop
(Schocken Books, 1894)
This book is an almost exact reproduction of another in the collection, dated 1894/1979. This version was printed in 1982 and is listed as a sixth printing. The curious feature of the book is that the line on its cover ...
The Fables of Aesop
(Dover Publications, 1894)
Dover picks up here from Shocken books and offers a very inexpensive Aesop with good reproductions of the Heighway drawings. In format the book is slightly larger and slightly slimmer. The twenty pages of notes at the ...
Chicken Little: A Tale about Common Sense
(Reader's Digest Young Families, 2006)
I include this book in the collection not because I think Chicken Little should be viewed as a fable but because this volume is part of a series that is labeled Famous Fables. This twenty-page children's picture book extends ...
