Aesop's Fables
(Hallmark Editions, 1971)
I already had a copy of this book with a frontispiece whose background is black when I found this copy whose background is white! The book is otherwise identical. Might the printer have had a bad day and forgotten to add ...
The Book of Fables: Containing Aesop's Fables.
(Hurst & Company Publishers, 1900)
Like the adjacent listing from Lupton, this unusual book claims to have art but has none at all! It is paginated and has in fact the same plates as my Hurst Arlington editions listed under 1899? but lacks all the illustrations ...
The Book of Fables: Containing Aesop's Fables.
(F.M. Lupton, 1903)
Very close to my 1902? Lupton edition, right down to the good paper, the good printing, and the numerous empty pages at the end. As is usual for these Lupton editions (see 1900?, 1901?, and 1902?), a note added to the ...
Aesop's Fables
(California State Department of EducationCalifornia State Dept. of Education, 1964)
Identical with my 1964 Random House copy except for the change in publisher on the title page and the California State Textbook stamp inside the front cover. It belonged to the Emerson Elementary School. This copy, like ...
Aesop's Fables.
(J.H. Sears & Company, 1920)
This little book brims with questions. First, do I not recognize these covers of a boy and girl, respectively, reading? Next, how does this text expand the usual set of texts derived from Rundell (sometimes labelled ...
Aesop's Fables
(Wordsworth ClassicsWordsworth Editions Ltd, 1912)
Surprisingly, this paperback that costs only $1.44 includes apparently all the Jones texts and all the black-and-white Rackham illustrations. What a bargain! A suite like MSA's silhouettes (130-31) here occurs together ...
Die Fabels van Aesopus
(H.J.W. Becht, 1975)
This seems to be a Dutch version of The Fables of Aesop: 143 Moral Tales Retold. Lively art. As I mention in the account of the American book, the best of the illustrations are for WC (22-3) and MM (34-5). There is a ...
Aesop's Fables (with 30 colour plates and 18 sepia illustrations)
(Ward, Lock and Co., Ltd., 1924)
This book sits precisely between two others I had already found. Both are listed under the same date. One has thirty illustrations and the other forty-eight. Let me mention then which of the two this book resembles on ...
Aesop's Fables (with 24 colour plates)
(Ward Lock & Co.,, 1924)
It is hard to believe, but this is the third distinct book I have found now in the Sunshine Series by Ward and Lock. The other two have, respectively, sixteen colored plates and sixteen colored plates plus eight sepia ...
The Fables of Aesop Based on the Texts of L'Estrange and Croxall (smaller format: 5¼x 6¾)
(Thomas Y. Crowell Company, 1903)
This book is to a large extent identical with the one from the same publisher that I have listed under 1910? The selection and placement of illustrations seem to be slightly different (though in both cases from Billinghurst). ...
