La Fontaine. fables choisies pour les enfants
(E. Plon-Nourrit et CiePlon-Nourrit & Cie., 1871)
In cataloguing probable first editions of this book, I noticed a difference in both title-pages and covers. The publisher's name is lacking on the title page of those copies, which I have listed under 1871, while both of ...
La Fontaine: Fabeln: Gesamtausgabe mit 320 Illustrationen von Gustave Doré
(Sonderausgabe für Parkland Verlag GmbH: International Publishing GmbH, 1995)
One of the pretty La Fontaine/Doré editions that have been coming out frequently lately. A special feature of this edition lies in the frequent tail-pieces. I do not believe that they are from Doré. The small Doré ...
Fables de La Fontaine
(Belin FrèresBelin Fréres, 1890)
A routine, simple complete edition of La Fontaine's fables in poor to satisfactory condition. AI at the back.
Fables de La Fontaine
(Jules Tallandier, 1906)
A magnificent book. 310 magnificent illustrations by Rabier, eighty-five in color. His freedom to arrange things often makes for an excellent series of views pertaining to a fable. Favorite illustrations of mine include ...
Recueil des Fables de La Fontaine
(E.R.T. (Editions René Touret?), 1936)
This is one of the larger cheap canvas-bound Recueil editions I have from the 30's, many of them by E.R.T. and many featuring the work of Urbain Raymond. Here one key feature of Raymond's work, including that on the cover, ...

Fables de La Fontaine
(Flammarion, 1952)
Here is a better copy, with dust-jacket, of the 1952 original of Pec's work that I first came to know through the reproduction of 1983. As I mentioned of the first copy, without a dust-jacket, it features good monochrome ...
Reynard the Fox and Other Fables
(P.F. Volland, 1925)
This book uses the illustrations of the Volland 1918 Fables in Rhyme for Little Folks (see my listing for 1918/24?) and puts them now with prose stories rather than the verse used there. Most fables also get new titles. ...
Fables de la Fontaine
(George R. Lockwood, 1870)
This book seems to be inscribed in 1873, and thus I guess at 1870 as a publication date. The book is largely identical with my three Mame editions of this book (1890, 1890/92, and 1890/1901). See my comments there, ...
La Fontaine: Fables
(La Pochothèque: Le Livre de Poche, 1985)
Eighteen months after I picked up this book, I discover that it has the Oudry illustrations! From all I can tell, they are all there. How lovely! There are also over two hundred pages of notes in the back. I am afraid ...
