Fables of La Fontaine. Vol. I
(Derby and Jackson, 1860)
This pair of volumes repeats, in large part, a lovely single volume I found thirty years ago. The big difference, besides the price, is that that volume really did include illustrations from Grandville. The Grandville ...
Fables de La Fontaine
(H. Fournier Ainé, 1838)
When I noticed that this 1838 edition was up for under $80 for the two volumes, I thought I would take a chance. I got lucky! Getting it has given me a chance to compare -- again -- the 1838 Grandvilles that I have. I ...
Les Fables de La Fontaine pour Bébé
(Théodore Lefèvre et Cie., 1886)
This book is almost identical with a copy I first bought from Abbey Antiquarian in 2000. Now, I have found two other copies, and they have small but fascinating differences. This volume, like the Abbey copy, has the name ...
30 Fables Choisies de Jean de la Fontaine
(Editions Morena, 1995)
Here is an extra copy of this book in excellent condition. This book is especially dear to me because it was found in the Souks or Flea Markets of Casablanca. Though we argued for some time, I could not get the seller ...

Imagerie Artistique: 20 Fables de La Fontaine
(Ancienne Maison Quantin, 1891)
Patience has paid off! I had found two copies of the second volume of this series but had never seen the first volume. Here it is! See my comments there. The cover here has a teacher pointing to one of eleven miniaturized ...

Forty-Two Fables of La Fontaine
(William Heinemann, Ltd., 1924)
This British first edition apparently antedates the US first edition from Harper by one year. And this copy is signed and numbered #113 of 165 numbered copies. As I wrote there, the book has witty rhyming texts. The ...
