The Book of Fables: Containing Aesop's Fables.

Abstract

Closest to the 1901? and 1902? Lupton editions with the same title. See my comments there. Except for the title page and cover, the books seem identical. Like those, this book has no illustrations. In fact, this book makes sense of their skipped page (157-8) when it adds there a title page Later Fables for the second part of the book. It adds ten pages of publisher's advertisements at the end. See my 1920? The Fables of Aesop published by Burt for an attempt at listing the important editions I have that include the J.B.R. preface. Parker inscribed this book on its page bottoms and on the back endpaper.
