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 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: The Fables
(Jupiter Books, 1975)
Offhand, I do not think the abundant Doré illustrations quite match those in the Chartwell edition (1982), perhaps especially because of the paper used here. An excellent bilingual presentation, always with Doré's small ...
The Frogs Who Wanted a King.
(Four Winds Press: Scholastic Magazines, 1977)
An ingenious idea, and some ingenious illustrations to match in watercolors. I will try to work one song or slide into a lecture, like the one on the two rats.
Fables
(L'École des Loisirs, 1977)
A lovely find! I first saw these illustrations in the original as separate pages matted at Orrie's in St. Paul. The illustrations are ingenious multipart presentations. The reproductions are only adequate. The best may ...
One Hundred Fables by La Fontaine
(Ginn and Company, 1906)
A helpful little book inscribed in Cambridge. I think the book's first gift lies in its identification of one hundred of LaFontaine's 238 fables for special attention. The copious English notes at the rear help someone ...
Jean de La Fontaine: Fables
(Alfred A. Knopf, 2001)
By chance I passed by Olsson's in Bethesda between visits to used book stores, and I found this lovely recent book. It combines the excellent work of de la Nézière, both in color and in black-and-white, with the good verse ...
Jean de La Fontaine: Bajky
(Statni Nakladatelstvi Krasne Literatury, Hudby a UmeniStátni Nakladatelství krásné literatury a umění, 1959)
This book represents a serious undertaking. It is a nicely bound, sturdy, large book, complete with a place-marking ribbon. It covers apparently the whole corpus of La Fontaine's fables. The large, bold black-and-white ...
Le Lion et le Rat: Collection Fables
(Albo Delmar Import-ExportEdiciones A. Saldaña, 1984)
Copyright 1984 Ediciones Al Saldaña. This is a die-cut pamphlet of eight pages. It starts very abruptly without a title-page. The aggressive little rat hits the sleeping lion in the head with a pea-shooter! The rat ...
La Fontaine: Fables
(Hachette, 1974)
One of the loveliest and most imaginative books in the collection. The book presents nineteen fables of La Fontaine with a lovely standard Carelman illustration before each text. But the La Fontaine text is not complete. ...
