Fables from Aesop
No full textI have loved this book from the beginning because of its dramatic, simple cover-illustration of a wolf with glasses reading a book. Inside are twelve strong chromolithographs, one for each story in the unpaginated book. There is a four-page pattern for each story: title-page with a black-and-white illustration, a page of text, the full-page chromolithograph, and a final page of text. The illustrations here are not as stylized as I find Billinghurst in his better known works. The color work here is very pleasing. Do not miss the dramatic red-and-black mouse on the title-page! The fox in FG was a wise fox, and knew that it is better not to long for things which we cannot have. Green cloth spined pictorial boards. Some foxing. See my identical edition from Stokes in NY under the same year.This is a hardbound book (hard cover)By Mrs. George Cupple

Never-Grow-Old-Stories Retold from Aesop's Fables
No full textThis book contains thirty-eight of the best stories told for very little boys and girls who like cats and dogs, and lions and bears (at a proper distance), and who never tire of watching them or reading about their wise and otherwise actions (Introduction by Grover, 7). There is a T of C at the beginning. These are pleasant tellings for little children. At the end of their story the fox and stork shook hands and parted as good friends as ever (25). Grover starts DM with a long examination of the dog's envy over the horses' living conditions (39). The fox actually enters the door after the doorman dog opens it for him (45)! There is a tendency here to lighten the impact of a fable. Thus the crow outwitted by another into dropping his mussel onto rocks only for the other crow to eat it consoles himself that the eater will not enjoy eating when he remembers what a mean trick he played on me to get it (61). And the fox without a tail was a brave Fox to try to make the best of his misfortune (17). The fox and goat jump into the well together for a drink (73). The talkative approach to stories may backfire slightly when we read that the frogs asked for a king because they did not like so much liberty and freedom (81). In the next paragraph they are talking of the court balls, parties, and good times they could have with a king. Mercury actually cuts the camel's ears off--or at least down to small size (101). FG is told as an aetiological tale (105). The fox takes over the wolf's den with impunity after the farmer does away with the wolf (113). Both copies have a misprint Boer on 131. The contrast between room and company in The Sow and the Wolf (137) is in Croxall and thus in many others. The very last fable, The Cat and the Mice (141), is new to me. The cat seems to sleep and so catches a newly arrived mouse. The extra copy shows more signs of age and has different colors on its covers and endpapers and in its good Billinghurst illustrations. These seem to have two or three colors (brown, tan, and orange) besides black and white. I recognize them as standard Billinghurst; at least here he is acknowledged!This is a hardbound book (hard cover)By Edwin Osgood Grove
