Aesop's Fables
(Porter & Coates, 1848)
The best runs I have seen yet of the Tenniel illustrations. It is unfortunate that there are only fifty of them here. The book is in great condition and even has a place-marking ribbon! The illustrations are listed on ...
Aesop's Fables
(The Franklin Library, 1984)
A curious, pretty, expensively-bound book with leather and gilt and a sewn-in place-mark. I will be interested to compare it to the edition that Franklin did two years earlier with the same authors (and the same translations?) ...
Aesop's Fables Complete
(J.B. Lippincott, 1868)
Complete indeed! Here in small format is James' version of 203 fables so often found with Tenniel's illustrations. These are not the Tenniel illustrations (though they seem to imitate Tenniel, e.g., on 147), nor ...
Aesop's Fables
(John Murray, 1848)
A beautiful hardbound edition with a gold-embossed cover. Notice that in this edition, unlike all others I have, James is not listed on the title page as Rev. Excellent presentation of the engravings, which may be less ...
Child's Own Fable Book
(Leavitt and Allen, 1860)
This fat little book includes two parts: Aesop's Fables (I) and Fables (II). It is an earlier (even first?) edition of a work I had found earlier and have listed under 1870? This work, like that, will delight those ...
Child's Own Fable Book
(Leavitt & Allen, 1870)
This fat little book will delight those tracking fable publication. A frontispiece from Weir introduces a book with Thomas James' 1848 introduction placed (Theddington Vicarage) but not signed. James' 203 fables in I ...
Aesop's Fables
(Grosset & Dunlap, 1848)
I am adding this copy to the collection because it improves on some of the features in a copy I already have. This copy does change one feature in the book I have already catalogued: it adds Made in the United States of ...
Aesop's Fables
(Grosset & Dunlap, 1848)
This book has the same text and illustrations as the earlier Grosset and Dunlap edition (1890?). Very good runs on the illustrations here. The cover and title page are different; the latter lacks not only names but ...
Aesop's Fables: A New Version from Original Sources
(Lilliput Press, 1995)
Here is the smallest and perhaps the finest of the miniature books in this collection. It has a hand-colored frontispiece and a lovely colored dust-jacket. I count about twenty-five fables here, each with an illustration. ...
Aesop's Fables
(John Murray, 1848)
Though I had never found an 1848/1852 edition before, I found this and the almost identical 1848/52 hardbound edition within one week. Excellent copies of the illustrations. Reading for the Rail books are advertised on ...
