Fables
(L'École des Loisirs, 1977)
A lovely find! I first saw these illustrations in the original as separate pages matted at Orrie's in St. Paul. The illustrations are ingenious multipart presentations. The reproductions are only adequate. The best may ...
Fables de La Fontaine
(Jules Tallandier, 1906)
Here is a later printing of a book I found printed in 1992 on a trip to Paris in 1997. In Paris again in 2009 and unsure whether I had this edition, I picked up another copy. This copy, which is printed in Italy rather ...
Fables de La Fontaine
(Editions TallandierÉditions Tallandier, 1906)
Here is a good selection of Rabier's work, done by the same publisher that published his work originally. Here all of the illustrations are in color. There is a T of C at the end. 64 fables. It pays to compare and ...
Fables de La Fontaine: Deuxième Partie
(Librairie Illustrée. Paris: Jules Tallandier, 1906)
This second volume (of three, I presume) presents a second group of fables stretching from IV 8 through VII 14. The same surprising little section in English appears at the lower left of the pre-title page: Published ...
Fables de La Fontaine: Première Partie
(Librairie Illustrée. Paris: Jules Tallandier, 1906)
This first volume (of three, I presume) presents the first seventy fables of La Fontaine, through IV 7, Le Singe et le Dauphin--which has some black-and-white illustration work typical of Rabier's lively and fun-loving ...
Fables de La Fontaine: Deuxième Partie
(Librairie Illustrée. Paris: Jules Tallandier, 1906)
I had presumed when ordering this copy that it was another copy of a book which I already had. That presumption was wrong, as it has often been wrong before. This book has a different front cover, different different ...

Fables de La Fontaine 1
(Jules Tallandier, 1906)
At last a comprehensive reproduction of Rabier's La Fontaine! Rabier had followed LaFontaine's order more or less. This book follows Rabier's original strictly except for one section where three fables from Book I (The ...
Fables de La Fontaine 2
(Jules Tallandier, 1906)
See my comments on Volume 1. This volume takes TH and The Carter Stuck in the Mud from their place in Book VI and inserts them at its beginning, apparently in order to let the cover illustrate the first story inside the ...
Fables de La Fontaine 4
(Jules Tallandier, 1906)
See my comments on Volume 1. This volume begins with OF, for which the cover provides an illustration. Whence comes this illustration, since it is not from either the cover or the illustrations in the 1906 edition? Along ...
