Fables de La Fontaine 3
(Tormont, 2006)
My hat is off to Tormont. They get more mileage out of their good work than anyone else I know. They had done three different publications out of a set of illustrations by Georgeta Pusztai: a box of five English books, ...
Reynard the Fox and Other Fables
(Dover Publications, Inc.,, 2014)
Here is Dover's reprint of the 1925 original. The hardbound 6 x 9 Volland volume has become an 8¼ x 11 paperbound Dover volume. Pagination has been added and the cover picture is not extended from the front through the ...
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 ...
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 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
(Milan, 2000)
Here is a fascinating find. I thought that I had found a French original of an English translation. In fact, what I have found here is the original French 2000 edition of a book which I already have in its French 2007 ...
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 de La Fontaine
(Magnard Jeunesse, 2003)
Here is an extra copy of this book. 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 ...
The Complete Fables of La Fontaine: A New Translation in Verse
(Arcade Publishing, 2008)
Here is a second copy of this book. It is unusual to find a complete La Fontaine. The list in English includes, I believe, only Thomson, Wright, Thornbury, Moore, Spector, and Schapiro. This translation is curious because ...
