Fables
(Castor Poche Flammarion, 2004)
At first I thought this paperback of some 191 pages was just another in the long line of inexpensive French paperback renditions of La Fontaine's texts. Each of the sixty fables here is introduced with a standard printer's ...
Les Fables de La Fontaine
(Maxi-Livres, 2003)
A chance walk down the Rue St-André brought me past a small book store, and I found this book, close to the ultimate in large-format, bright-colored, simple-art books for children. The book is 11 x 14½. There are just ...
La Fontaine: Fables et Oeuvres Choisies
(Ed. PrivatH. Didier, Libraire-Editeur, 1935)
This is a 963-page high school textbook. Its great contribution lies in the documentary black-and-white photographic illustrations. These present a broad range of material, from the cover of Nevelet (1610; Fig. 51) to ...
Los Animales y la Peste: Fábula de La Fontaine
(La Galera, S.A. Editorial, 1984)
This is the second book I have found in what seems to be a series of sixteen fables by La Galera; the other is El Gallo, la Zorra y el Perro: Fábula de Esopo, listed here as #9 in the series, while this book is #15. Lively ...
The Fables of La Fontaine: A Selection for Little Children
(Review of Reviews Office, 1897)
Books for Bairns volumes of Aesop's Fables were published first in the 1890's by Review of Reviews and then again in 1926 by Ernest Benn. This pamphlet seems to belong to the former group. I have at least six books ...
Fables de La Fontaine: Texte Collationné d'après les Meilleures Éditions
(P. Arnould, 1889)
Here is a compact little (3½ x 5 x 1) La Fontaine that seems complete. The eBay advertisement claimed only the frontispiece when it spoke of an illustration. The title-page claims Gravures. The truth lies in the middle: ...
Fables de La Fontaine avec un nouveau commentaire, Tome Premier
(Emler Frères, Libraires, 1828)
I made a mistake when I bought this pair of volumes, since I already had copies but thought that I did not. My error, however, turns out to be a lucky one. This two-volume set involves surprising placement of the same ...
Fables de La Fontaine avec un nouveau commentaire, Tome Second
(Emler Frères, Libraires, 1828)
I made a mistake when I bought this pair of volumes, since I already had copies but thought that I did not. My error, however, turns out to be a lucky one. This two-volume set involves surprising placement of the same ...
Fables Choisies, Mises en Vers par Monsieur de La Fontaine
(Chez Humblot, 1757)
This is a lovely little book, the earliest Coste edition I have. It is certainly in the family of Bodemann #121. The date matches with #121.2, but the editor there is Prault fils aîné, whereas here it is Humblot. The ...
Fünfzig Fabeln von Lafontaine
(Buchhandlung des Waisenhauses, 1927)
The Scherenschnitte are particularly appealing in this book, generally small and simple but finely done. Good examples include FC (6); Horse and Wolf (10); Wolf and Fox (49); and The Heron (62). There is a fine series ...
