The Fables of La Fontaine
(Viking Press, 1954)
I have wanted for a long time to find a signed and numbered first edition of this important book. The red cloth cover has a lovely embossed LF emblem. I said when I catalogued the regular first edition of this book years ...
Neuf Fables de la Fontaine
(Club du Livre Sélectionné, 1957)
I enjoy this work. The cover and frontispiece of this unstapled pamphlet show La Fontaine extending out from an oval portrait and offering a book of fables. The frontispiece notes that this copy was printed for Monsieur ...
La Fontaine: Fables
(Éditions Garnier Frères, 1950)
This sturdy hardbound book is about as standard as it gets. The pleasant additions here to the usual book of La Fontaine's fables include a reproduction of Chauveau's WC on the orange cloth cover and eight full-page ...
Fables de la Fontaine
(S.A.M. Editions "Vedette" ;S.A.M. Editions Vedette, 1954)
As the seller points out, this book is in the style of the Little Golden Books. It is a sturdy book 6 ¾ x almost 8 with 24 pages. It tells ten of La Fontaine's fables and illustrates them each with about two helpful ...
La Fontaine: Fables
(Éditions du Milieu du Monde, 1955)
This may be the handiest complete edition of La Fontaine's fables that I have. Besides its bendable covers, it has an AI of fables at the back and even a place-marking ribbon. I wonder where and when I found this little book….

I wrote of another edition of this book that I knew I had seen it before. Now I find part of the reason. Here is the 1955 (original?) edition of a book published again by Bias with a different cover in 1972. That 1972 ...
My Book of Fables: From the Tales of La Fontaine
(Hackett's: Hachette, 1953)
It is curious that the same book showed up, after years of apparent absence from the market, twice within four months, and in both cases from Australia. Neither copy is in good shape, and so I will keep them both in the ...
Trois Fables de La Fontaine
(Hachette, 1953)
Here is an extra copy of this little book. Exceptionally sharp colored illustrations in this small pamphlet of WL, le Loup devenu berger, and MSA. At the end of the latter, the illustration has the miller, son, and ...
Choix de Fables de la Fontaine 1
(Editions Chagor, 1950)
Here is an extra copy of this booklet. This is a memorable squarish book, just over 8 and just less than 8 wide. Mallet's work is unique, and that quality makes the book memorable. In its 24 pages, six fables are ...
Jean de la Fontaine: Selected Fables
(George Braziller, Inc., 1957)
A new edition, without any acknowledgement of the Quadrangle Press original of 1948. Note that one extra copy cost me as much as the original eventually would cost. I see little change from the original here. This is a ...
