fables: jean de la fontaine, illustreés par jean effel
(les éditions la farandole, 1975)
Twenty-six fables, sixteen of them illustrated by Effel's brilliant colors and simple, telling designs. I love his work more every time I see it! This book also keeps some but not all of the good line-cartoons that adorn ...
La Fontaine: Fables Choisies
(Editions BiasÉd. Bias, 1959)
I knew I had seen this book before. I did not realize that I had seen it in Greek. That edition was done by I.K. Papadopoulos and Son in Athens, and I guess at a date of 1975. There I speak of forty fables, but this ...
Fables de La Fontaine
(Editions G.P., 1949)
Here I have worked my way back to an apparent first edition of Bodemann 466.1. The special feature of this book of one hundred and five fables is the full-page photolithographs by Auger. I find sixteen in all, including ...
The Fables of La Fontaine
(Dorothy E. Jonness.n.], 1943)
There are verse translations of fifteen of La Fontaine's fables here. I find the second, Council Held by the Rats (4), particularly effective. I had forgotten that in La Fontaine the belling idea comes from their eldest, ...

I thought I recognized this booklet when I found it. It turns out that I have it in English, not French, under the title The Twelve de la Fontaine Fables as Painted in the Dining Saloon M.V. Dalerdijk. Let me adapt my ...
Fontaine's Fables
(Whitman Publishing Company, 1934)
Wonderful colored illustrations in a delightful book. The best are those at the end of each of the six stories (e.g., of the wolf with the last lamb bones). In the Three-in-One copy, a youthful crayon lover has marked ...
Fables de La Fontaine
(G. Loewensohn, 1935)
Done in Germany in French and sold across from the British Museum! An unusual format urges kids to color in the line-drawings next to the eight colored pictures! Though simple, these are nice--including the lively cover. ...
Fables de la Fontaine: Livre II
(Hachette, 1935)
A large-format, lively-pictured children's book in terrible shape. This sixteen-page booklet is unusual in that four of the seven LaFontaine fables it presents are little known.
La Fontaine: Fables Choisies I: L 1-6
(Classiques Larousse, 1934)
A typical pamphlet for French secondary students. No illustrations. It does not contain all the fables of the first six books. Apparently, Larousse started with these pamphlets and then grew into larger paperbacks with ...
