Fables Choisies de La Fontaine, V. I
(Editions des "Moulins d'AuvergneSauzet, 1944)
It is strange how a cover affects one's perception of a book. I bought this beautifully covered pair of volumes thinking that the illustrations must be significant. When I came to examine the books, I found the illustrations ...
Fables Choisies de La Fontaine, V. II
(Sauzet, 1944)
See my comments on the first volume, both paper and hardbound, and on the paperbound second volume. This time through my favorite illustrations were Le Cerf se voyant dans l'Eau (20); La jeune Veuve (32); and Les Poissons ...
Choix de Fables Pour Les Petits (cover: Fables de La Fontaine)
(Editions Chagor, 1946)
This oversized canvas-bound children's book of colorable pictures is in keeping with the two Belgian books titled Fables Choisies and dated 1946? The illustrations are those found there. Here the pictures are all signed ...
Jean de la Fontaine: The Complete Fables
(The New English Library Limited, 1962)
Here is a surprising find from a five-minute stop in a beloved old store. I would have thought that I would know by now of a twentieth-century verse translation of the complete fables of La Fontaine. A quick check on the ...
La Fontaine et le Premier Recueil des Fables, Vol II
(Librairie A.-G. Nizet, 1966)
The first volume of this pair is listed under 1965, even though its cover shows 1966. This second volume continues to work its way through Books Three, Four, Five, and Six, treating each fable along the way. As I mentioned ...
A Hundred Fables of LaFontaine (American Edition)
(John Lane The Bodley Head, 1900)
Before placing a bid on this book, I checked but found no record of my having a first edition. Soon after I placed the bid, I found the record. I felt bad since then--until I just checked the book out against the book I ...
Three Fables
(Golden Pleasure Books, 1962)
This booklet presents two irregularities or anomalies. First, it is missing four pages at its center. WL seems just to have ended, and we find ourselves suddenly on the last page of The Wolf Who Became a Shepherd. The ...
Fables et Épitres de la Fontaine
(Nelson Éditeurs, 1949)
Perhaps the main advantage of this little (just over 6 x 4) book is that it is a handy, flexible volume containing apparently all of La Fontaine's fables. The letters get only some 76 pages to the 380, plus introductory ...
Fables de La Fontaine, No. 4
(Philips, 1959)
Here is Volume Four, found four years after I found Volume Two, published in 1957. Apparently I have one more livre-disque to find to have the set of four complete. This Livre-Disque contains six fables, pictured on the ...
Fables de La Fontaine
(Gordinne, 1940)
This book is identical internally with the first 32 pages of a Fables de La Fontaine published by the same publisher, Gordinne in Liege. The only internal change is the year at the bottom of 32. That book goes on to ...
