Here is a compilation of an edition of the four volumes which I had already found from Michael Hackenburg at Turtle Island. This volume not only pulls the four together into one volume. It is generally a simpler version. ...

This first of the four books has a separated front cover. There is an excellent introduction to Wright and an account of his editions, including the five fables he wrote to be included in the place of expurgated material ...

This is a lovely pair of volumes. It belongs, I believe, most appropriately between Bodemann #287.3 and #287.4. It seems that the family of Bodemann #287 is dominated by the illustrations of Jules David. The unusual ...

Here is Volume II of a lovely pair of volumes. They belong, I believe, most appropriately between Bodemann #287.3 and #287.4. It seems that the family of Bodemann #287 is dominated by the illustrations of Jules David. ...

A magnificent pair of volumes! The pagination is exactly the same as in the Derby and Jackson edition (1860) that describes itself as two volumes in one. There is some staining of the pages. The printing of the illustrations ...
