Fábulas de La Fontaine
(Casa Editorial Calleja, 1918)
Here is a Spanish version of this lovely little book that first appeared in French about 1910. I have the French version in two slightly different forms and an English version from 1922 that adds a number of fables from ...
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 ...
The Original Fables of La Fontaine
(E.P. Dutton & CompanyLondon: J.M. Dent and Sons/NY: E.P. Dutton, 1913)
See my comments on the printings I have placed, sometimes by guess, in 1930, 1932, and 1938. Can I hope that this copy is a first printing? Like the 1930 printing, it has the misprint under the frontispiece; unlike that ...
The Original Fables of La Fontaine
(London: J.M. Dent and Sons/NY: E.P. Dutton, 1913)
Compare with the printing from Portland (1930?). This printing has a lovely cover picture of MM. Tilney receives only F.C. on a less elaborate title page. The illustrations of MM (34, a gem) and of the garret (47) ...
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, ...
Fables in Rhyme for Little Folks Adapted from the French of La Fontaine.
(Wise Book Co., 1918)
Here is a fifth copy, that is, a second extra beyond the three in the collection. It has a red-printed cover. This Old Book Shop copy has a damaged front endpaper with a sticker on its back, and the paper seems to change ...
Fables in Rhyme for Little Folks Adapted from the French of La Fontaine.
(Wise Book Co., 1918)
Here is a fourth copy, that is, an extra beyond the three in the collection. It has a red-printed cover. This Downtown copy seems to be fuzzy in its illustrations more frequently than the others. A nice Volland reprint. ...
Fables in Rhyme for Little Folks.
(P.F. Volland, 1918)
Here is an extra copy with a weak spine. 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 ...
