A Hundred Fables of LaFontaine

Alphabetical list of fables at the front. Each of the hundred fables has a striking black-and-white illustration by Billinghurst. The translations seem short and to the point.
La Fontaine's Fables
(André Deutsch, 1984)
This book snuck up on me. The pictures are adequate. The poetic renditions of LaFontaine are good, brief enough, and sometimes quite witty. Surprises: the frogs and rabbits are both cowards; the crow is flattered for ...

Fables de La Fontaine

Here is a second copy of this magnificent book! I keep it in the collection because both copies have seen extensive wear. This copy is better externally and the original copy from Bookhouse, Arlington, VA, in 1991 is ...
La Fontaine pour Rire: 18 Fables de Dominique Bonnaud
(Librairie Delagrave, 1928)
The cover has a fox saying to La Fontaine's statue Good man, good man, you are not the master in your own house when we are there. This book has fun with fifteen fables of La Fontaine on some 60 large-format pages. In ...
La Fontaine: Fables, Tome II
