Nursery Tales
(Simon and Schuster, 1952)
There is already a copy of this book in the collection. For some time, I believed that this book was simply the interior of that book lacking its covers. Now I tend to think that it is a paperback version not published ...
Fables
(Editions des Deux Coqs d'Or, 1959)
This is the fourth form in which I have found this booklet, and this one is not simple to place. It lists itself as Un Petit Livre d'Argent as does a book with almost the same cover that I have listed under 1972, but this ...
Ezop & Hollar: Bajky z Ezopovych Fabuli a Brantovych Rospravek Jana Albina ze Sborniku Prostejovskeho Z R. 1557
(Nase VojskoNaše vojsko, 1957)
What a rich collection of images! Organized apparently in three books of Aesop according to Romulus, each containing 20 fables, then 19 new fables, and finally 28 fables attributed to three sources that I cannot make out. ...
Das grosse Buch der Fabeln
(Ensslin & Laiblin Verlag, 1962)
This seems to be an earlier copy of a book I have already listed. The one difference I can find between the two copies is that the obverse of the title-page there lists 20.-25.Tausend, while there is no such marking here. ...
Aesop's Fables Retold for Children
(Thomas Nelson & Sons, Ltd, 1930)
Sixty-two fables with four colored full-page illustrations and numerous black-and-white illustrations. This small book (5¼ x 6¾) has seven children dancing in silhouette across its green rag hard cover. The best of the ...
Fables for Children
(Oxford University Press, 1948)
There is an identical copy of this book already in the collection, but I am also including this copy because its first two illustrations are nicely hand-colored. This is a good example of a venerable old practice. The ...
Aesop and Hyssop
(Open Court, 1912)
This book has more than a bit of whimsy in it, composed as it is (in verse) by its author in grief over having lost his wife or best friend. Besides some 175 Aesopic fables, there are some twenty-seven originals composed ...
Fabeln und Parabeln der Weltliteratur
(Max Hesses Verlag, 1907)
I previously knew Etzel's work through a 1990 edition by Bechtermünz Verlag, which -- as is now clear to me -- took Etzel's classic text collection and added illustrations, making a small-format book into a large one. Now ...
Aesop and Hyssop
(Open court publishing co., 1912)
How nice to find a first edition of this favorite! I like this little book very much. There is more than a bit of whimsy in it, composed as it is (in verse) by its author in grief over having lost his wife or best friend. ...
Old Gold: A Book of Fables and Parables.
(NY: E.P. Dutton and Company/London: J.M. Dent & Sons, Ltd., 1910)
A compact little book presenting ninety-five Aesopic fables and twenty-six of Jesus' parables cleanly and simply. The fable selection includes La Fontaine, Krylov's The Monkey and the Spectacles, and one fable new to me, ...
