La Fontaine: Kurbaga-Fare Dostlugu
(Unlu KitabeviÜnlü Kitabevi, 1992)
There seem to be six stories here. I can recognize The Hare and the Lion from the illustration on 10; at least, I presume that we are dealing here with the Kalila and Dimna story of tricking the tyrant with the image at ...

Lafonten' den Masallar
(Nil Yayınevinil yayinevi cocuk kitaplari, 1982)
This children's booklet contains forty-eight pages of fables with five faint full-page black-and-white illustrations. The best of these (6) is similar to the colored picture of FC on the front cover.
Choix de Fables de la Fontaine 2

This second booklet in the series of four is another memorable squarish book, just over 8 and just less than 8 wide. Mallet's work is unique, and that quality makes the book memorable. In its 24 pages, five fables are ...

Fables de Florian, Suivies de Tobie et de Ruth
(J.-J. Dubochet et Cie, 1842)
For some time, I have wanted to get an early Grandville Florian. Here is the earliest! It was a major find for me with an old friend at an impressive international book fair. François Coté describes the qualities of the ...
Fables de La Fontaine I
(La Bonne Compagnie, 1946)
A beautiful find. I am surprised to see the French publishing industry able to do a book like this so soon after the war. The aquarelles are unfortunately almost completely devoid of narrative content; they end up often ...
Fables de La Fontaine II
(La Bonne Compagnie, 1946)
Again, a beautiful find. See my notes on the first volume. My favorite aquarelles here include the bed of the man who finds a louse significant matter to pray over (60), the road over the hill as an image for The Two ...
