Fables de La Fontaine Illustrées
(Chez Delarue, Libraire, 1848)
"This book looked very familiar, but it did not seem to line up well with the one book I have of La Fontaine from Delarue. I noticed on the last page that it was printed by Mame in Tours. I checked, and Mame in Tours did ...
Jean de la Fontaine: Fables
(Bookking International, 1993)
Here is an extra copy of this book. This is one of the few editions of La Fontaine's fables which I have that does not add some notes. There is a two-page life at the beginning and an AI at the back. The French will, ...
Fables de La Fontaine
(H. Fournier Ainé, 1838)
One of the finest works I have. The illustrations (120 in the two volumes) are exceptionally clear here. Some of the best are of the city and country rats (20), the cat-woman (82), the lion in love (127), and the fox ...
Fables de La Fontaine
(H. Fournier Ainé, 1838)
One of the finest works I have. As I mentioned above under Volume I, both the paper and the impressions here are outstanding, even and especially in comparison with the beautiful first printing. Some of the best, besides ...
Promenade au Jardin des Fables
(Braun & Cie/Berger-LevraultBraun Berger-Levrault,, 1923)
One of the heavier and more pretentious books in the collection. The book seems to me to represent a kind of printer's dream, drawing in all sorts of illustrations. I have listed Berger-Levrault as a publisher, but they ...
Fifty More Fables of La Fontaine
(University of Illinois Press, 1998)
I like this book. The translations are lively, informed, occasionally arch. There are good notes at the back. Illustrations appear for perhaps half of the fifty fables, and they are frequently pairs of illustrations ...

Fables de la Fontaine: Édition a l'Usage de la Jeunesse
(Librairie DelagraveLibrarie Delagrave, 1925)
How many thousands of copies of books like this are sitting in French attics?! It includes twenty indifferent renderings of great Oudry illustrations, but its special charm is that it was a prize. The embossed cover ...
La Fontaine: Fables
(Librairie de Hachette, 1953)
Four fables are announced on the title-page of this 6.5x8 kids' book: MSA, Le Loup Devenu Berger, UP, and WL. They occur in just the opposite order! The La Fontaine text is unchanged. Of the simple, lively colored ...
Les Fables de La Fontaine
(Mulder, 1955)
Here is the French original of a recent acquisition, Eight Fables by La Fontaine, published by Mulder & Zoon and listed under 1955? See my comments there. I knew I had seen this book before, and the fox's gesture on the ...
