Fables de La Fontaine
(Jules Tallandier, 1906)
Here is a later printing of a book I found printed in 1992 on a trip to Paris in 1997. In Paris again in 2009 and unsure whether I had this edition, I picked up another copy. This copy, which is printed in Italy rather ...
Fables: Five Very Short Operas: Poems by Jean de La Fontaine, Translated by Marianne Moore
(Boosey & Hawkes, 1974)
This work was commissioned by the University of Tennessee at Martin for the dedication of its Fine Arts Building. It was first performed on May 21, 1971. The bottom of the first page of the first piece shows a copyright ...
Fables de la Fontaine
(Éditions Albin Michel, 1947)
Here is a second first edition copy of Rapeño's work from 1947 with exactly the same numbers on the obverse of the title-page, but with a different cover. Here the cover shows the tortoise passing the negligent hare. ...
The Hare and the Tortoise: Fable by Jean de la Fontaine
(Mulder & Zoon, 1955)
Here is a parallel to a number of books I have in both English and Dutch. All come from the same publisher and use the same artist. I have listed them all under 1955? The booklets build off of a fascinating concept: a ...
The Raven and the Fox: Fable by Jean de la Fontaine
(Mulder & Zoon, 1955)
Here is the English version of a booklet I already have in French from the same publisher and artist and similarly listed under 1955? Like the other books in this series, this book builds off of a fascinating concept: a ...
A Hundred Fables of LaFontaine
(John Lane The Bodley Head, 1900)
A beautiful book in very good condition, scarce in dust jacket as Midway's note proclaims. The cover under the fine dust jacket is beautifully colored. Apparent companion to the Lane/Dodd and Mead A Hundred Fables of ...
La storia della Lepre et la Tartaruga e tante altre.
(Dami Editore, 1989)
Delightful pictures illustrate this kids' book. The best of them include the title page of the cat-grandma reading to the mice children, the fattened weasel getting caught in the narrow passage through which he entered ...
The Fables of La Fontaine
(Doubleday, 1963)
I had searched for ten years and never had this book in my hand. Experts in children's books did not even know that Scarry had done a LaFontaine book. Thirty-one fables, some with colored and some with black-and-white ...
Pop-Up Fable Fun
(London: Chatto and Windus. Los Angeles: Intervisual Communications, 1978)
A new combination for me: a pop-up with picture-changing (not 3-D) glasses, unfortunately not present with this book. The boy crying Wolf! and the woodchopper needing an axe-handle are cleverly put into the same pop-up ...
Fables de La Fontaine en bandes dessinées
(Editions Calmann-Lévy et Editions de Blonay, 1984)
Here is a much-used treasure-house of cartoon strips formerly in a library. Its binding is taped and its corners well bumped. In the interior, some pages are starting to separate from the binding. A T of C at the beginning ...
