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 ...
Les Fables de La Fontaine
(Dupuis, 2010)
René Hausman is a celebrated illustrator of comic books in Belgium and France. Here is his La Fontaine, and it is wonderful! In image and after image, I found myself saying either He has it right! or I have not thought ...
Once Again, La Fontaine: Sixty More Fables
(Wesleyan University Press: University Press of New England, 2000)
Shapiro and Schorr are at it again! This marks their third book together on La Fontaine. It is, I believe, another triumph. The translations are crisp. I enjoyed, for example, The Charlatan (115). I am surprised at ...
Les plus belles Fables de La Fontaine et autres auteurs célèbres
(Les Éditions PoP Jeunesse, 2007)
Here is a glossy, puffy-covered, colorful book of fables. It has no title-page and no pagination. There is an AI at the end, but without page-numbers that becomes a list of fables in order. There are fifty-five fables. ...
Fables de La Fontaine 3
(Tormont, 2006)
My hat is off to Tormont. They get more mileage out of their good work than anyone else I know. They had done three different publications out of a set of illustrations by Georgeta Pusztai: a box of five English books, ...
Les Fables de La Fontaine: Tome 1
(Éditions Ada Inc., 2009)
Here is a heavy book offering on some 320 pages half of La Fontaine's fables, each with a full-page colored illustration. An AI at the beginning is also a T of C. I am trying to order Volume 2; this first volume presents ...
The League of Rats and Other Fables
(Tome Press, 2005)
32 pages. Black-and-white. What a curious piece! Was this really meant as the first issue of regular magazine? In any case, this pamphlet collects all of La Fontaine's fables dealing with rats and mice. Each fable has ...
The Hare and the Tortoise and other Fables of La Fontaine
(Barefoot Books, 2006)
The flyleaf speaks of Ranjit Bolt as an award-winning translator. Nineteen fables, with an introduction and an afterword. The illustration style is primitive. Bolt's introduction closes with this good paragraph: When ...
El Gran Tesoro de las Fábulas
(E.L. S.A. de C.V.,Editions Hemma (Bélgica), 2005)
I am delighted to get a well made book produced in Mexico! Dosimont did several editions for Hemma in the 1990's, and I have no doubt that these illustrations were taken from one or several of those editions. The book ...
LaFontaine: Selected Fables
(Penguin Classics, 2006)
This Penguin Classic is slightly smaller and only in paperback, but it otherwise is a direct copy of the 1979 Viking edition, including Michie's translations and J.J. Grandville's illustrations. Grandville's illustrations ...
