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: Fables adaptées pour les petits à partir de 3 ans avec images adhésives
(PML Éditions: Éditions d'Olympe, 1998)
Originally done, apparently in Italian, by Gruppo EdiCART in Legnano in 1997. There are four verse stories here (though not La Fontaine's own text), for the first of which, FC, there are two pages of text and two almost ...
Le Loup et le Chien
(Éditions Ronde du Tournesol, 1991)
Large (12.25 x 11) pamphlet of six pages, die cut to fit the outlines of the wolf and dog on the cover. A simple prose version with images heavy on pastel colors, birds, and mushrooms. While the dog explained that he ...
Fontaine's Fables
(Whitman Publishing Company, 1934)
Wonderful colored illustrations in a delightful book. The best are those at the end of each of the six stories (e.g., of the wolf with the last lamb bones). In the Three-in-One copy, a youthful crayon lover has marked ...
Fables by La Fontaine
(G.G. Harrap, 1951)
A handy 110-page schoolbook with fifty or so of LaFontaine's fables in their French and fifteen of Oudry's 1783 illustrations, alas very small here. A worthwhile book for taking along to show when there is not much space.
Douze Fables de la Fontaine (cover: Fables de la Fontaine)
(Editions Etranco, 1950)
I am tempted to date this book ten years earlier because of the French-German connection of a French publisher printing books in Germany. The cover presents an engaging image of smiling animals grouped around King Lion. ...
Fables de La Fontaine
(Editions du Bois-Joli, 1970)
A lovely find in a friendly bookstore near the site of the first railroad station in the United States. This is a large-format hard-covered book combining La Fontaine's verse, full-page colored illustrations, and smaller ...
fables de la fontaine
(Casterman, 1955)
The first French-language version I have come upon, found in an off-the-beaten-path foreign language bookstore in Georgetown. The illustrations show a great use of color, but not as much fun as I would like. The best ...
The Fables of La Fontaine
(Grosset & Dunlap, 1957)
Straight copying of the original; the colors are slightly better there than here in a book I come to like more each time I look at it. Do not miss the fun of the dressed-up fish. Classy stuff!
Jean de la Fontaine: Fabeln
(Aufbau-Verlag, 1955)
A wonderfully colorful East German edition. Best of the 'humorvolle, kecke und liebenswuerdige' watercolors: GA (11), FG (cover and 67), DW (173), and 'The Two Goats' (209). My first two copies both cost 35 Marks, but ...
