Fables de La Fontaine
([Editions BIAS]Éditions Bias?, 1948)
I took this mysterious fragile twenty-page large-format pamphlet with me to the fable collection today to see if I could find some parallels. Eureka! I have found an edition that uses the same fables and the same colored ...
Fables Choisies de La Fontaine, V. II
(Sauzet, 1944)
A very nice pair of volumes from a time when people were not producing many fable books! These were a real find upstairs in the Bookhouse. There is one simple black-and-tan wood-engraving for each of the fifty-two fables ...

Tiergeschichten nacherzählt aus den berühmten Fabeln des Dichters La Fontaine, Band II (Spine: Onkel Max erzählt Fabeln)
(Verlag Papyria A.G., 1945)
I thought I knew this book when it showed up. Less than a year ago I found its French version, La Fontaine: Fables, Tome II, which was published in 1946. The publishing house, place, and number remain the same. Onkel ...
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 ...
Fables de la Fontaine
(Éditions Albin Michel, 1947)
This book represents a curious addition to the collection. I had the feeling when I saw it that I had seen it before. I checked my records before bidding on the book but probably missed the tilde in Rapeño and so believed ...
Jean de la Fontaine: Selected Fables
(Dover, 1948)
This is an extra copy of the $2 version that mentions Canada on its back cover. Here is a favorite paperback of mine with lively illustrations, probably not quite as good as those in the Aesop edition Calder did in 1931. ...
Jean de la Fontaine: Selected Fables
(Dover Publications, 1948)
Here is a favorite paperback of mine with lively illustrations, probably not quite as good as those in the Aesop edition Calder did in 1931. The illustrations are well reproduced. I will include six copies of this book ...
XX Fables de Jean de la Fontaine
(A l'Imprimerie artistique en couleurs, 1944)
A nicely executed book in very good condition. Sixteen two-color illustrations adorn the fables, including a country rat and a city rat (while TMCM is not included among the fables!) around the title. The best of the ...
