Les Fables de La Fontaine pour Bebe

Aesop's Fables in Words of One Syllable
(George Routledge & Sons, 1882)

(William L. Allison Company, 1884)

Selections from Aesop's Fables
(D. Lothrop and Company, 1884)
Prose versions followed by Bates' long poetic versions surrounded with art. Might individual pieces have appeared individually in children's magazines? Childe Hassam is the best known illustrator, but his work here on ...
