The Grasshopper and the Ant and other La Fontaine Fables
(Grolier Society, 1968)
I could not remember this booklet, and I happened to be right: I did not have it previously. I do have the parallel 1967 Grolier edition The Fox and the Stork And Other La Fontaine Fables. Note that this book uses small ...
Fables of La Fontaine
(Golden Pleasure Books, 1962)
Excellent runs on the ten colored illustrations of Trnka, which also appear in the 1974 and 1974/85 editions by Grund and Exeter. The best of these is the cover featuring the wolf as shepherd. There are good black-and-white ...
Les Plus Belles Fables Française
(Agence Gutenberg EditionsEditions Gutenberg, 1940)
This twenty-six page pamphlet contains a dozen fables by La Fontaine and the same number by Florian. Each fable except two receives one page of eight or nine colored square illustrations; LM and AD share a page on 11. ...
Fables de La Fontaine
(Librairie Nationale d'Éducation et de RécréationLibrairie nationale d'éducation et de récreation, 1900)
This pretty but frail book includes one-hundred and thirty-seven numbered fables, with a T of C at the end on 239-40. Like other such editions, it seems to know nothing of La Fontaine's division of fables into twelve ...
Fables de la Fontaine N°2
(Imagerie Pellerin, 1982)
Here is the second volume accompanying a similar Pellerin reprint from the same year. Again two black-and-white illustrations bracket fifteen full-page colored illustrations. TH (14) is not only one of the liveliest ...
The Fables of Aesop and The Original Fables of La Fontaine
(London: J.M. Dent and Sons/NY: E.P. Dutton, 1939)
This volume lets us see publishers at work. I have--under 1915?--this publisher's Aesop's Fables, which is included here almost without change. I have five different copies of The Original Fables of La Fontaine, which ...
The Original Fables of La Fontaine
(London: J.M. Dent and Sons/NY: E.P. Dutton, 1913)
Again, I am surprised. I thought I had picked up a potentially better copy of a book I already have. Well, it is true that the interior of this book is exactly like that which I have listed under 1913?/1913? from these ...
Fables de la Fontaine
(Editions Novos S.A.Éditions Novos, 1945)
This is a large softbound volume, 9½ x 10½, with a title-page, 20 pages of fables, and a T of C at the back. Nineteen fables are presented. The illustrations, some in black-and-white and some in color, are simple and ...
Fables de La Fontaine en Images Lumineuses
(Albums du Père Castor: Flammarion, Éditeur, 1935)
There are here six silhouette images of fable scenes from La Fontaine. Apparently, another six are missing, perhaps from the stapled center of this pamphlet. The full list of twelve fables appears on the bottom of the ...
Fables de La Fontaine, Album No. 2
(Imageries Réunies de Jarville-Nancy[s.n., 1935)
This is a well crafted pamphlet with fifteen fables, each with the left-hand page devoted to La Fontaine's text and the right-hand page to a brightly colored illustration. The latter are somewhere between André Hellé and ...
