Mon Beau Livre de Fables
(Éditions Hemma, 2004)
This is the fifth book I have found illustrated by Dosimont, all apparently done from the same set of illustrations and all published by Hemma. The illustrations are perhaps here at their sharpest in this flexibly bound ...
Oeuvres Complètes de Jean de La Fontaine
(Chez Firmin Didot Frères, Fils et Cie, Libraires, 1857)
Here is a heavy 684-page tome that seems to have all of La Fontaine's works, starting with the fables. It is larger than my 1854 Fables et Oeuvres Diverses de J. La Fontaine by the same editor and from the same publisher. ...
Fables de La Fontaine: 13 Fables
(NAs.n.], 1952)
This is a lovely mid-size format (7¼ x 9½) book of thirteen fables with no identifying information that I can find: nothing about publisher or artist. The numerous illustrations in the text are line drawings with red ...
Les Fables de La Fontaine pour réfléchir
(Oskar Jeunesse: Éditions Oskarson, 2010)
This is a fine book! It works from thirteen of La Fontaine's best known fables. For each there is a four-page spread, as is indicated in the T of C on 5. The first pair of pages presents La Fontaine's text and a humorous ...
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 ...
Fables de La Fontaine
(J. Langlumé et Peltier, 1830)
This may be my smallest complete La Fontaine edition. It measures about 2½ x 4. It includes some twenty fascinating small illustrations, paired up two to a page. The upper frontispiece presents La Fontaine in the ...
Les Fables de La Fontaine
(Les Éditions Cumulus: Éditions Total Publishing, 2003)
This soft-covered book made with heavy paper is very large, over 11 x 14½. FC and TH appear on the cover. The illustrations themselves have a largeness to them. Sometimes texts are framed by vines within large two-page ...
Les plus belles Fables de La Fontaine en relief et en musique
(Editions Luciens AdesLucos: Le Petit Ménestral: Editions Lucien Adés, 1956)
This is a worthy combination of a 33 rpm record and six excellent pop-up scenes. The La Fontaine scenes, presented in landscape format with the fable on the flat surface closest to the reader, are about 90% intact. In ...
Mesék: Második Kiadás
(Új Magyar Könyvkiadó, 1955)
This volume is notable for several reasons. First, it is the first Hungarian book in this collection. Secondly, it presents an unusual collection of colored illustrations at its close, including Barboutau's FC and Monkey ...
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 ...
