Aesop's Fables Profusely Illustrated.
(The World Publishing Co., 1910)

Favorite Fables
(Hurst & Company, 1895)
This is a very curious book. Neither its title, cover, nor title-page gives indication that it is La Fontaine's fables that are presented here, though that is clear at the top of most pages within the book. Nor is there ...
Favorite Fables
(Hurst & Company, 1895)
This book is almost the same as another from the same publisher with the same title, also listed under 1895? This book has the same curious suppression of mention of La Fontaine on the cover and title-page, and it maintains ...
Otras Fabulillas
(Afrodisio Aguado S. A., 1950)

(Boston: Lee and Shepard/NY: Lee, Shepard, & Dillingham, 1872)

Animal Frolics
(Merrimack Publishing Corporation, 1890)
Our Version of the Antique appears on the back cover. I have a copy of the antique, done by McLoughlin Brothers. See my comments there, under 1890? This facsimile follows the original version scrupulously, right down ...
Fables de La Fontaine: Édition annotée a l'usage de la jeunesse
(Theodore Lefevre Éditeurs,Théodore Lefèvre, Éditeur, 1881)
Bodemann #339.1. Bodemann notes there that this volume goes back to an 1867 first Joaust edition. See my comments under 1901? on the later edition of the same book (Bodemann #339.2). Here I will highlight some of the ...
Basni LaFontaine (Russian)
(Evdokiya Konovalovan and Co., 1915)
