Abstract

en_US Here is the second copy of the probable first of three versions of this book in the collection. I believe that this copy from Dorothy Meyer and the Powell's copy may be the most original. The two show these features. They include copyright information at the bottom of the title-page. The first fable begins immediately on the verso of the title-page with a picture of CP and the text of CP on the facing page. The T of C is at the back of the book with these numbers on its verso: CS6-39 and 30-90. All the copies proclaim that they are from The Aesop for Children of 1919 and that they are the edition of 1939. Both the Powell's and the Dorothy Meyer copies have flaws -- a separating binding and a taped T of C page, respectively -- and so I will keep both in the collection. The colored pictures are very good. The best among them are of the crab and its mother and of GA. It is strange to find so much variation in a simple book; it is also strange to have found the book three times in a short period after finding it only once in a long period.
