Aesop's Fables: A Classic Illustrated Edition.
(Chronicle Books, 1990)
Chronicle has put a new cover and identical dust jacket on this printing, taken from Milo Winter's The Rose and the Butterfly. They have moved within San Francisco and given themselves, on both spine and title-page, a new ...
Aesop's Fables (with 48 colour plates)
(Ward Lock & Co.,, 1924)
A real find. The retellings are a bit lengthy. The colored illustrations--in the tradition of Norman Rockwell--are delightful. There are great illustrations to show people and several for use in a lecture: FG on 144 ...
The Fables of Aesop. Complete, with Text Based upon Croxall, La Fontaine and L'Estrange.
(A.L. Burt Company, 1920)
Already one of my favorite books because of the hand-colored illustrations. Also it takes the JBR text used with so many other illustrators. A lovely book! See the adjacent Burt edition of same year and title for ...
Fabels van Aesopus
(H. Meulenhoff, 1920)
This squarish little book grows on me. There are two nice colored pictures on the cover and opposite the title page. The extensive black-and-white illustrations in the text are generally simple and even anatomically ...
Aesop's Fables
(Distributed by Random House Value Pub., 1995)
This edition is smaller in page-size than Santore's 1988 edition. It presents not the twenty-four fables that each received a lavish illustration there, but rather eighty-two fables. Some of these are not illustrated at ...
Las Fábulas de Esopo.
(Editorial Epoca, S.A., 1971)
This is one of the wierder books I have. The wierdness starts with a cover picture stolen backwards from the frontispiece of Fritz Kredel's Aesop's Fables. Next we meet Velasquez' portrait of Aesop. Then we find 318 ...
The Donkey Ride
(Doubleday, 1967)
I had had this book on my want-list for some years and never heard a peep about it. Then I found it sitting in the public library's cast-off store for fifty cents! Lucky me! This is a delightful book. Showalter expands ...
Aesop's Fables in Rhyme
(Philip R. Bucci, 1936)
This book looks like the privately published work of a devotee. The book presents eighty-two fables in rhymed verse. Perhaps a third of them are illustrated. The rhythm seems to tend heavily to anapests. I do not think ...
Aesop's Fables Complete, With Text Based Upon Croxall, La Fontaine, and L'Estrange.
(W.B. Conkey, 1910)
Three unusual visual features mark this work. The first is the dramatic and colorful LM on the front cover's pictorial board. The second is the orange and blue frontispiece of The Lion, The Ass, and the Fox from Billinghurst. ...
Old Fables--Aesop
(The Paine Publishing Company, 1908)
This pamphlet seems to be a later printing of one I have listed already, with the same bibliographical information, under 1908. The cover here is simpler. Without any color, it shows a running child. Now all of the ...
