Aesop's Fables (Inside: Old Fables in a New Dress)
(McLoughlin Brothers, 1890)
This book has the same title, the same inside title, and the same contents as another book in the collection. What is different in this perhaps earlier publication is fourfold. First, the cover picture is not FC with a ...
Tableaux des XIXe et Xxe Siècles, Sculptures Vente a Paris Drouot Montaigne
(Ader Picard Tajan, 1988)
Here is a catalogue for an exhibit/sale that included individual items from the 1961 La Fontaine: 20 Fables published in Monaco and printed in Paris. See my description of the copy in the collection under that date. Here ...
The Tall Book of Nursery Tales
(Harper & Row, 1944)
This reprint (which does not admit that it is such) has a different cover and is somewhat sloppily assembled.
The American Pictorial Primer
(Original: NY: George F. Cooledge and Brother. Facsimile: San Marino, CA: Huntington Library and Art Gallery, 1845)
Simple and straightforward booklet. Among the few stories is MM (34). There is here no dreaming or counting of chickens before they hatch. This may not even be a fable. Simple illustrations.
Abdallah or the Magic Rug and Other Stories.
(Child Play Magazine?, 1929)
Perhaps a title page is missing. Three fables, each with something different. SW has a bet over stripping a man of (all) his clothes--and gets him into a stream. TH has the tortoise dozing across the finish line. FG ...
Belling the Cat
(Oxford University Press, 1981)
A lively version involving the personalities of the whole mouse family, particularly the hungry young Michael and his wise old grandfather. The illustrations are simple and spirited.
The Lion and the Mouse
(Oxford University Presscol. ill. ;, 1981)
A simple story emphasizing Marty the Mouse's intelligence. Pages 15-18 and 27-30 are out of place. The illustrations are lively.
The Milkmaid and Her Pail
(Oxford University Press, 1981)
Nicely done. The drawings are very lively. This version goes directly from the chickens to the dress and spends a long time on the dancing.
The Ladder to Learning: A Collection of Fables Arranged Progressively in Words of One, Two, and Three Syllables, with Original Morals
(Grant and Griffith, Successors to John Harris, 1845)
See my remarks on the fourteenth edition in 1835. What has changed here? The engravings are now labeled on the title-page as wood engravings. Grant and Griffith has succeeded to John Harris as publisher. The company-name ...
The Little Fable Book
(s.n., 1880)
This little (3½ x 5¼) book has lost its title-page. The first thing one finds upon opening the book is a T of C (iii), which lists forty-four traditional fables. The title does show up on the cover, at the head of the ...
