Fables de La Fontaine
(Maison Alfred Mame et Fils, 1910)
This book seems to be a hybrid of two items I have listed under 1910? and 1910?/1929? It has all the features of the latter but adds a colored front cover illustration of various animals arranged around a bust of La ...
The Original Fables of La Fontaine
(London: J.M. Dent and Sons/NY: E.P. Dutton, 1913)
A novel approach in that the book presents only those fables of which LaFontaine was himself the originator. The translator insists in the introduction on the value of prose. On the frontispiece we read that the heart ...
Fables in Rhyme for Little Folks.
(P.F. Volland, 1918)
Apparently a first edition. See my later editions under 1918/24? This book lacks a dedication page, has a weak spine that has been taped together, and shows smudges and wear on some pages. Still, I have worked my way ...
Fables in Rhyme for Little Folks.
(P.F. Volland, 1918)
A wonderful little book! Eighteen fables, each done with four excellent, witty pictures. This printing comes off as very successful, especially in contrast with some other printings. Book detectives will want to compare ...
The Original Fables of La Fontaine
(London: J.M. Dent and Sons/NY: E.P. Dutton, 1913)
Almost identical with my 1913/30? edition. The cover here has a picture (not MM, which appears on the blue 1913/36/38 edition, but the fox and wolf in pails in the well), and the frontispiece picture does not have the ...
Fables de La Fontaine classées par Ordre de Difficulté avec Notice en Tète de chaque Fable et notes
(Librairie Armand Colin, 1916)
Here is a very curious book, rebound in perhaps the most durable covers I have ever seen! It classifies and organizes La Fontaine's fables in three levels: suitable for little children, moderately difficult, and difficult. ...
Fables in Rhyme for Little Folks Adapted from the French of La Fontaine.
(Wise Book Co., 1918)
A nice Volland reprint. Unfortunately the pictures often do not come out clearly. The printers seem to have had trouble with color separation and the exact matching of separate color impressions. One gets an impression ...
French Fables in Rhyme, Translated from La Fontaine
(Stead's Publishing House, 1919)
At least some of the texts are taken, without acknowledgement, from Elizur Wright's edition. That is a good choice for this presentation of La Fontaine. Artist le Fanu offers a valuable contribution here with his sketches, ...
Fables de La Fontaine
(Maison Alfred Mame et Fils, 1910)
I can find no discrepancy between this book and Bodemann #376.1. Bodemann dates to about 1910 her leicht veränderter Nachdruck of the first edition of 1897. For all I can ascertain, this could even be the 1897 original ...
Fables de La Fontaine
(Maison Alfred Mame et Fils, 1910)
This book seems very close to the edition I have listed under 1910? and which Bodemann lists as #376.1. It has a plain binding, not the colored picture of the frontispiece that one finds on that copy. On the pre-title-page, ...
