Histoires ou contes du temps passé, avec des Moralitez (Perrault's fairy tales / Mother Goose)
Charles Perrault · Claude Barbin, Paris · 1697
No book-club issue exists for a 1697 Paris duodecimo. The reprint traps are the Dutch counterfeits — Desbordes, Amsterdam, dated 1697 and passing as Paris work in the same year as the original — and, on the English side, the long chain of Samber reprints ('the Third Edition, Corrected', 'the Tenth Edition, Corrected', and provincial printings such as B. Collins of Salisbury, 1772, distributed by Carnan and Newbery, of which the Morgan holds a copy, PML 84676) that carry the identical Mother Goose title as the 1729 first. Modern 'first thus' traps include the Nonesuch 1925 'Histories or Tales of Past Times Told by Mother Goose' and print-on-demand facsimiles of the 18th-century sheets, which reproduce period title pages verbatim.
