XX Fables de Jean de la Fontaine
(A l'Imprimerie artistique en couleurs, 1944)
A nicely executed book in very good condition. Sixteen two-color illustrations adorn the fables, including a country rat and a city rat (while TMCM is not included among the fables!) around the title. The best of the ...
Fables de la Fontaine. Nouvelle Édition, Enrichie des Notes de Coste, Dans laquelle on Aperçoit d'un Coup-d'Oeil la Moralité de la Fable
(Imprimerie de l'Institut LazarewIzdanīe Andrei͡a Glazunava s Bratʹi͡ami, 1840)
This is an otherwise straightforward presentation of La Fontaine's twelve books of fables with a T of C at the back following La Fontaine's epitaph with a design of its own. The two noteworthy features of the volume are ...
Fables de La Fontaine Précédées de la vie de l'auteur. Nouvelle édition, dans laquelle on aperçoit d'un coup d'oeil la moralité de la Fable
(Avallon. Comynet, Imprimeur-Librairie, 1834)
This book is in many respects similar to one I had found in 1993 at the Strand, dated 1835 from the same publisher with the same title. In fact, the title-page may be the same except for the year. That little book of the ...
La Fontaine
(Éditions de L'Abeille d'Or, 1900)
Here is a small (3¼ x 4¼) and very fragile paperbound booklet of 169 pages featuring a selection of La Fontaine's fables. There is a T of C at the back. Many of the pages are uncut. There seem to be no selections after ...
The Fables of La Fontaine
(Viking Press, 1954)
A huge and lovely book, without illustrations, with an index of titles and first lines in both English and French. I would like to keep coming back to this book. Most of LaFontaine I find on the longish side, and so I ...
fables de la fontaine
(Casterman, 1955)
The first French-language version I have come upon, found in an off-the-beaten-path foreign language bookstore in Georgetown. The illustrations show a great use of color, but not as much fun as I would like. The best ...
Fables of La Fontaine
(Grolier Society, 1967)
The illustrations are rather poor runs of Doré for the thirteen fables included. Two of them are found seldom elsewhere: The Rat and the Elephant and The Two Doctors. This is a companion volume in red to the ...
Recueil des Fables de La Fontaine (Cover: Les belles Fables de la Fontaine)
(Editions René Touret, 1936)
This large-format coloring-book with 10-1936 on its back is thinner but in the same format as the coverless book I found a year earlier along the Seine. They share the same title-page title, though this one has Les belles ...
Fables de La Fontaine classées par Ordre de Difficulté avec Notice en Tète de chaque Fable et notes
(Librairie Armand Colin, 1916)
Here is a very curious book, rebound in perhaps the most durable covers I have ever seen! It classifies and organizes La Fontaine's fables in three levels: suitable for little children, moderately difficult, and difficult. ...
La Fontaine: Les Fables et les Bêtes
(Maison Mame, 1946)
A standard selection of eighteen La Fontaine fables with a full page of color for each fable. The color work on the title-page illustration of the fox in the grass is outstanding! Other good work is 39 (Le Coche et la ...
