The Tortoise and the Hare and other stories from Aesop's Fables retold for very young readers.
(Spring Books, 1935)
This book is exactly identifical with another done by Hampster Books, for which I have guessed the same year of 1935. Let me note the differences. Printed in Czechoslovakia was placed there underneath the frontispiece ...
Den Lille Aesop: 59 af de gamle Dyrefabler
(Gyldendal, 1945)
How nice to find, nine years later, the original of which my two English versions, hardbound and paperback, were the later translation. They are listed under 1961. This 1945 Danish original version even contains the ...
Three Hundred Aesop's Fables Literally Translated from the Greek
(Optimus Printing Company, 1900)
This is a forerunner of the modern paperback book. Is it equivalent to a railroad book? It contains the full Three Hundred Aesop's Fables edition by Townsend and Weir, complete with the opening picture of an older man ...
Aesop's Movie Fables (Green and Red Cover): Cartoons, Stories, Song, Laughs, Morals, Fun, Movie Flips
(Sonnet Publishing Co., 1931)
This item is identical with an earlier find except for two important differences. First, this large pamphlet has a green and red cover differently designed from that white cover of a cat showing a movie to children. ...
Fabeln des Äsop Nach Steinhöwels Erneuertem Esopus
(Graphische Kunstdruckerei Gebr. FeylGrapische Kunstdruckerei Gebrüder Feyl, 1938)
The texts here come from an Insel publication, perhaps published in or about 1933. Insel's own book then used illustrations after those of Vergil Solis. Here we have instead Wassili Masjutin's excellent woodcuts: WC (5); ...
Cent dix-sept Fables d'Esope enrichies d'autant de figures selon l'édition de M.DCC.LXIII
(Au club Français du livre, 1963)
I had found a copy of this book twelve years ago. In keeping with a policy of including even extra copies of numbered, limited edition books, I will include this copy too. I can offer one new piece of information. I ...
Les Fables d'Ésope
(Club des Libraires de France, 1965)
Here is a second copy of this lovely book. In keeping with the policy of this collection, I include it, since it is part of a numbered, limited edition. In this case, 150 copies of the total of 3650 were marked HC for ...
Esops Fabler
(J.W. Eides Forlag, 1951)
Here is a book of wonderful art, lovingly produced! The color work is excellent. Among the best are these: The Fox and Goat (15); The Bear and Bees (16); OR (29); WL (34); TB (51), BF (56-57); and MSA (66-67). The ...
Aesop's Fables
(Platt & Peck Co., 1905)
A curious reprinting of the Moffat original of 1905. See that entry for comment and this for contrasts. Rackham's TH is on the cover here, without acknowledgement. Townsend is no longer mentioned. The list of illustrations ...
Aesop's Fables
(J. Coker & Co., Ltd., 1921)
A treasure I am glad finally to have. Noble illustrated Vredenburg's fables (1920?) in a different style; frankly I prefer those illustrations to these. The six colored illustrations (in one-third and two-third page ...
