La Fontaine's Fables: A Selection
(Thomas Nelson and Sons, 1905)
This wide book presents a classic La Fontaine from the early part of the century. Park's colored illustrations are large and lovely; the best are of FC and GA. The best of Bull's black-and-white illustrations are feet ...
Fables de La Fontaine
(Librairie de Théodore Lefèvre, 1900)
Here is another case where I thought I was getting a second copy of a book. In this case I went for it because it is beautiful and relatively inexpensive. The copy I had found earlier provoked a question about its ...
Fables de La Fontaine
(Jules Tallandier, 1906)
A magnificent book. 310 magnificent illustrations by Rabier, eighty-five in color. His freedom to arrange things often makes for an excellent series of views pertaining to a fable. Favorite illustrations of mine include ...
Fables de La Fontaine
(Mame, 1901)
A beautiful little gift. The small, delightful engravings reproduce but do not repeat Girardet: the format is different, and a keen eye can spot plenty of differences. The book exemplifies the combined continuity and ...

Fables de La Fontaine
(Librairie Nationale d'Éducation et de RécréationLibrairie nationale d'éducation et de récreation, 1900)
This pretty but frail book includes one-hundred and thirty-seven numbered fables, with a T of C at the end on 239-40. Like other such editions, it seems to know nothing of La Fontaine's division of fables into twelve ...
Fables de La Fontaine
(Librairie de Théodore Lefèvre, 1900)
This book gets the award for the most lavish cover in my collection. The excellent illustrations raise lots of questions. There seem to be two sets: smaller engravings (some marked A.G.) and full-page illustrations ...
