Fables Mises en Vers, Tome II
(Librairie Armand Colin, 1960)
Persistence paid off in this case. I had found the first volume of this two-volume set of paperbacks four years ago. Now a second volume has turned up. As I wrote then, Bibliothèque de Cluny is a series of some fifty ...
Merveilleuses Fables de La Fontaine
(Henri Veyrier, 1991)
This may be the first time that I am aware of in which the bookseller was also the publisher! Beurtheret's numerous full-page illustrations are all signed in 1990. They are done in crayon or chalk or some other form of ...
Fables Choisies de Jean de La Fontaine
(Editions BIOTOP, 1998)
This miniature book follows upon Biotop's earlier miniature 11 Fables de La Fontaine (1993), featuring the illustrations of Olivier Le Pahun. Here there is only the cover illustration, repeated in black-and-white as ...
La Fontaine: 20 Fables
(Jaspard Polus & Cie.,, 1961)
Here is a treasure! I was able to get it only because there is one illustration missing from Brayer. As I recall, the book dealer was eager to be rid of the grief he had had with it. Let me include some of the bookseller's ...
Fables de La Fontaine
(Editions Touret, 1975)
This French edition, which does not acknowledge its artist, uses the same plates that can be found in two Italian editions of La Fontaine listed under 1960/76 and 1960/80, both by AMZ. There are, however, only eleven ...

(Hachette, 1976)
This book, about 7 x 8½, contains three fables of La Fontaine. It may be the twelfth book I have with Simon illustrations. At his nap, the rabbit of TH has a pipe and newspaper. He even juggles fruit along the way. The ...
Fables de La Fontaine
(Éditions Phidal Inc., 1995)
This may be the first French La Fontaine printed in the USA for many years! It is a large-format (8½ x 11½) book for children containing some forty-seven most popular fables, according to the back cover. Several illustrations ...
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 ...
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 ...
