Aesop's Fables
(London: J.M. Dent & Sons/NY: E.P. Dutton & Company, 1961)
A beautiful edition distinctive for its green, blue, orange or tan two-tone art, a specimen of which appears on every page except 15 and 71. Some samples of very good illustration occur on 46, 85, 108, and 114. Perhaps ...
The Fables of Aesop
(Distributed by Random HouseGramercy Books, 1909)
By contrast with my other versions of Detmold's work, this edition has some 174 pages, since the twenty-three illustrations are numbered pages. A quick check suggests that the print plates are still the same, however. I ...
Aesop's Fables Profusely Illustrated.
(The World Syndicate Publishing Co., 1910)
This book is essentially a reprinting of the 1910? Goldsmith edition with a brown cover given me by Elizabeth Willems. The cover is imprinted with the same design of lamps and books. The book shows the same mistake as ...
The Fables of Aesop
(Lothrop Lee & Shepard Books,, 1994)
One hundred and three fables with thirty full-color paintings and many pen-and-ink drawings. The former are unusually well defined. In her first note, Rowan says that the morals have been so over-quoted that they have ...

Aesop's Fables
(Viking Press, 1981)
Lavish and well done. Worth looking at for any of the nine fables she does. Now see 1993 for a reduced-in-page-size paperbound version done by Penguin Puffin. It admits that the text was adapted by the editors at The ...
The Fables of Aesop
(Hodder & Stoughton, 1909)
First published in 1909 by Hodder and Stoughton. This edition ©1981 by Hodder and Stoughton. Illustrations separately printed and pasted in with protective sheets. A much nicer edition than the Crown edition (1985). ...
Aesop's Fables
(Harcourt Brace Jovanovich, 1992)
This beautiful first U.S. edition varies little from the Pavilion original; see my comments there. The flyleaves, title pages, and colophon pages seem to contain the only differences. As I wrote there, this is a very ...
Fabeln von Äsop und Äsopische Fabeln des Phädrus.
(Wilhelm Goldmann VerlagWilhlem Goldmann, 1959)
A very straightforward little book with a brief introduction and the texts. There are 172 fables from Aesop. T of C on 164. There are advertisements for other Goldmann books on the final pages, the back cover of the ...
