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, Two Volumes in One
(Tappan and Dennet; NY: Willliam A. Colman/London: Edward Moxon, 1841)
My brother John and I parked in front of this shop at almost exactly 6 p.m. to visit another store in Sonoma, which turned out to be closed by then. Upon our return to Chanticleer, they announced that they were closed, ...
Fables de La Fontaine
(Imprimerie Moderne de Nantess.n., 1960)
Ten fables in a squarish hardbound edition that includes a colored illustration for each fable and some black-and-whites besides. This book seems a clear partial reprint in smaller format of of Marcus' 1949 edition with ...
Fables de La Fontaine
(Furne et Compagnie, 1855)
Lovely engravings, eight by Johannot and four by Moreau le Jeune, besides an unclaimed frontispiece portrait of LaFontaine. Since there is no list of illustrations, let me mention all twelve, with + for the best. ...
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 ...
Fables de La Fontaine
(Editions Lito, 1995)
This book of eight fables is an abbreviated version of the 1992 edition from the same publisher and illustrator, Les Fables de la Fontaine. As there, the illustrations emphasize cuteness and childlike fun. The characters ...
Fables de La Fontaine: Édition Illustrée
(Henri Plon; Morizot, 1880)
This book represents a lovely find. I feared, as so often, that I was probably purchasing something that I already had. As so often, I was wrong on that. The book is in the tradition of my two volume set of La Fontaine ...
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 ...
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 ...
