    Fables of La Fontaine 

    Grandville, J. J; La Fontaine, Jean de; Wright, Elizur (Derby & Jackson, 1860)
    One of the loveliest books I have. The leather, the gilding, and especially the illustrations are first-class. AI on xli (facing a great engraving of the animals at LaFontaine's tomb). Lovely title pages. Unfortunately ...

    The Fables of La Fontaine 

    Gibbs, J. W. M; La Fontaine, Jean de; Wright, Elizur (George Bell and Sons, 1881)
    This standard-seeming handy-sized edition of the Wright translation of LaFontaine without illustrations turns out to have a wonderful preface dated in 1881. The preface traces the history of Wright's translation. After ...

    Jean de La Fontaine: The Fables 

    Doré, Gustave; La Fontaine, Jean de; Wright, Elizur (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 ...

    Jean de La Fontaine: The Fables 

    Doré, Gustave; La Fontaine, Jean de; Wright, Elizur (Bloomsbury Books, 1975)
    Almost identical with the earlier Jupiter edition, except that this one has a dust jacket and uses better, thinner paper. The Doré illustrations thus come off the page better. The book's producers also make sure that the ...

    Select Fables from La Fontaine 

    Boutet de Monvel, Louis-Maurice; La Fontaine, Jean de; Wright, Elizur (Society for Promoting Christian Knowledge, 1871)
    I had not been aware that there was a classic Monvel in English. A real find! Hobbs (108) tells the story that Crane had submitted a fable book to the SPCK, which rejected it and created this import.

    Marc Chagall: The Fables of La Fontaine 

    Chagall, Marc; La Fontaine, Jean de; Wright, Elizur (Distributed by W.W. NortonThe New Press, 1997)
    This is one of the most delightful and beautiful books I have found! Three things impress me particularly about the book. First, it helps to clear up the difficult history of Chagall's involvement with La Fontaine's ...

    The Fables of La Fontaine 

    Gibbs, J. W. M; La Fontaine, Jean de; Wright, Elizur (Kessinger Publishing, 2004)
    This volume is symptomatic of where book publishing is going these days. This 7½ x 9¼ paperback book of 432 pages reproduces the texts of Wright's edition of 1881 in good, accessible form. It does so without a single ...

    The Fables of La Fontaine 

    La Fontaine, Jean de; Wright, Elizur (Echo Library, 2006)
    This is a disappointing book, even though it is perhaps the best executed print-upon-demand volume I have acquired. The reason for my disappointment is that it was advertised on Ebay as "Fables of La Fontaine biy Christopher ...

    Fables of La Fontaine. Vol. II 

    La Fontaine, Jean de; Wright, Elizur (Derby and Jackson, 1860)
    This pair of volumes repeats, in large part, a lovely single volume I found thirty years ago. The big difference, besides the price, is that that volume really did include illustrations from Grandville. The Grandville ...
