Les Fables de La Fontaine
(Éditions Lito, 1974?)
This is my seventh book illustrated by Monique Gorde, and it seems distinct from the other six. Here are thirty-one fables illustrated on 78 pages in a large-format children's book 9 x 10½. As always, Gorde imbues her ...

La Fontaine: Selected Fables
(Clarendon Press, 1918)
Earlier I had found a copy of the 1944 printing of this book. This is the 1927 printing noted there. Several things set it off from that later book. Oxford University Press in 1927 boasted of eight place names on the ...
Fables Choisies de J. de La Fontaine/Fabulae Selectae J. Fontani Traduites en Prose Latine Par Fénélon
(Alphonse Picard et Fils, 1904)
Here is one of the strangest finds during a very productive weekend in Paris. In fact, Picard was my first stop, and this book was published by Picard 110 years ago! I had not known that Fénélon had translated La Fontaine ...
Le loup et l'agneau
(Nathan, 2005)
This is one of six books in a series. I am sorry to have missed the series. Now only a couple of volumes are available, and they are very expensive! The pamphlet offers delightful cartoons, starting with the front-cover ...

The Fables of Jean de La Fontaine/Bilingual Edition: English-French
(Sleeping Cat Books, 2013)
Here is another publish-on-demand book. It is meant, the back cover tells us, for students learning French. It presents some forty fables with the English on the left and the French on the right. That painting of The ...
La Fontaines Fabler
(Erik H. Jung's Forlag, 1916)
This oversized (10 x 13) volume appeared late in my conversations at Norlis Antikvariat. It is substantial! As the T of C near the end indicates, some forty-eight fables are presented. Just after that T of C is a list ...
