Fables de La Fontaine Illustrées
(Chez Delarue, Libraire, 1848)
"This book looked very familiar, but it did not seem to line up well with the one book I have of La Fontaine from Delarue. I noticed on the last page that it was printed by Mame in Tours. I checked, and Mame in Tours did ...
Jean de la Fontaine: Fables
(Bookking International, 1993)
Here is an extra copy of this book. This is one of the few editions of La Fontaine's fables which I have that does not add some notes. There is a two-page life at the beginning and an AI at the back. The French will, ...
The Complete Fables of Jean de la Fontaine.
(Northwestern University Press, 1988)
An ambitious undertaking by the now deceased translator. Bilingual on facing pages throughout. It looks like the translations are very careful. They follow the meter of the original exactly. Worth trying for the person ...
The Original Fables of La Fontaine
(London: J.M. Dent and Sons/NY: E.P. Dutton, 1913)
Compare with the printing from Portland (1930?). This printing has a lovely cover picture of MM. Tilney receives only F.C. on a less elaborate title page. The illustrations of MM (34, a gem) and of the garret (47) ...
Fables de La Fontaine Choisies pour les Enfants
(Amédée Bédelet Libraire,, 1847)
This book belongs to a family with another in the collection, published also by Bédelet, for which I have with Metzner and Bodemann guessed a date of 1847. That family is Bodemann #303. In fact, the four magnificent ...
Fables de J. de la Fontaine
(G. Routledge et filsGeorge Routledge and Son, 1874)
A magnificent edition of engravings I have in editions of 1870, 1875, and 1885, but they are much better done here on far superior paper. They include twenty further engravings, with the full-page engravings done on ...
Select Fables from La Fontaine
(Society for Promoting Christian Knowledge, 1871)
I had not been aware that there was a classic Monvel in English. A real find! Hobbs (108) tells the story that Crane had submitted a fable book to the SPCK, which rejected it and created this import.
The Fables of Jean de la Fontaine
(Dawson's Bookshop, 1759)
An impressive pair of pages with the fable of l' Hymenee et l' Amour. Beautifully boxed and presented. Unfortunately, the Oudry illustration is lacking. Brewer's monograph seems sensible and direct.
La Fontaine: Fables Choisies VII-XII
(Librairie A. Hatier, 1928)
Forty-eight fables, listed in a T of C at the very back, in the kind of pamphlet the French seem to have made a specialty! See 1938 for a later edition, which adds some critical judgments and big enough print to make the ...
The Fox And The Stork And Other La Fontaine Fables.
(Grolier Society, 1967)
Surprise! When I bought this, I thought it was the 1967 Grolier edition that I already have (Fables of La Fontaine), with illustrations by Gustave Doré. Now that I have brought it home, I see that it contains the lively ...
