Fables of La Fontaine
(University of Washington Press, 2006)
Here is the second of two extra copies of this book. In 1855 the French caricaturist Honoré Daumier and other artists proposed to illustrate anew the fables of la Fontaine. Their project was never realized, but it inspired ...

Aesop Dress'd or a Collection of Fables Writ in Familiar Verse
(Dunda Books, 2011)
The original book of this title was published by Lock's-Head in London in 1704. I have a reprint of that edition by The Augustan Reprint Society (Publication Number 120) at the William Andrews Clark Memorial Library at ...
Jean de La Fontaine: Les Fables illustrées par Gabriel Lefebvre
(La Renaissance du Livre, 2000)
Here is an extra copy of the earlier large paperback book that is behind the smaller hardbound volume of the same title from the same publisher in 2003. The price came down 10 Euros in three years! That 2003 book belonged ...
Les Fables de La Fontaine: 45 Fables
(Editions Caramel: Editions LLCÉditions Pop jeunesse, 2009)
This book picks up where a 2003 book left off. Both are published by the same publisher -- Caramel -- but this book is in a different series, Pop Jeunesse rather than SDP Le Livre Club. In that copy the cover is of soft ...
Fables of La Fontaine
(Dover, 2012)
This is a beautiful inexpensive book, produced from what Dover calls an original 1927 edition. Bodemann guesses at a first edition of Lorioux by Hachette in 1921, and that is where I have put my first editions of Lorioux. ...
Jean de La Fontaine: Fables

Jean de La Fontaine en bandes dessinées
(Editions Petit à Petit, 2011)
This book is based on a smaller-format, shorter hardbound book by the same publisher in 2006. Finding the book was a lucky moment during a chance stop at a corner bookstore for new books in Paris soon after my arrival. ...
Fables: Jean de La Fontaine
(Éditions du Chêne: Hachette Livre, 2008)
This lovely volume is related to a smaller volume done by Chêne two years earlier. Both combine all of La Fontaine's texts with a wonderful variety of classic illustrations. That book was small in format -- about 4½ x ...
Fables de La Fontaine
(Magnard Jeunesse, 2003)
This is one of the most delightful La Fontaine books I have seen recently. It shows wit and creativity as its illustrations bring the texts into contemporary life. Each of thirty fables receives a two-page spread in this ...
