Aesop and Hyssop
(Open Court, 1912)
Here is the paperbound version of this delightful book! This book has more than a bit of whimsy in it, composed as it is (in verse) by its author in grief over having lost his wife or best friend. Besides some 175 Aesopic ...

Select Fables of Aesop and Other Fabulists
(Printed for William Osborne and J & H Mozley, GainsboroughPrinted for Willm. Osborne & J.H. Mozley, 1850)
This is a small book, falling apart. It is almost identical with other Dodsley editions, but a quick check of the frontispiece and title page shows clear differences, additions and subtractions. The book's condition is ...
Bewick's Select Fables of Aesop and Others
(1784: T. Saint/1871: Bickers and Son, 1776)
Lovely, if sometimes simple, wood engravings. The best may be TT and DS. This is apparently an early work of Bewick's, not to be confused with the classic 1818 edition. Tripartite AI at the back. This copy is superior ...
Aesopi Phrygis et Aliorum Fabulae

The back cover lists the four stories in this 16-page pamphlet: "The Hare and the Porcupine"; TMCM; Thumbelina; and FS. The first uses the usual trick of having one look-alike porcupine stand at the end of every field ...
Aesopi Phrygis et Aliorum Fabulae
(Typis Io. Antonij RemondiniTypis Io: [Johannis] Antonij Remondini, 1757)
I found this little treasure during a break in Renard meetings in Turin. The bookstore owner had not been aware of it, but recognized it promptly when I found it and was even able to look up on the spot a published list ...
Best Loved Fables of Aesop/Nonsense Alphabets.
(Grolier Society, 1967)
This book is identical (in larger format with enlarged and relatively good illustrations) with the Avenel edition (1967?) of the same name, except that it also contains Edward Lear's Nonsense Alphabets upside down and going ...
