Fables de La Fontaine, No. 1
(Philips, 1960)
I already have two copies of this book and record, Now I have found an earlier copy. Two clues lead me to believe that it is earlier, and then there is a strange anomaly I need to mention. The two clues are that the ...
La Fontaine: Fables
(Éditions du Panthéon, 1961)
This is a nice looking edition, often using two colors for the texts. No editor is acknowledged. I like the Dandelot water-color illustrations. They are big, bold, and colorful. Unless the cover counts as one of the ...
A Hundred Fables from La Fontaine
(Anchor Books ; Doubleday & Company Inc.,, 1961)
Good short introduction. La Fontaine's lighthearted manner is, in a way, a veil to his scope and depth. This poet saw and loved lasting essentials, whether in a bowed woodman or in a rabbit or in death. His intelligence ...
Jean de la Fontaine: Fables I
(Roissard, 1962)
This volume contains the first six books of La Fontaine's fables. Bouffay's style is like nothing I have seen before. It is entirely in black-and-white. The illustrations, all full-page, present a character rather than ...
Jean de la Fontaine: Fables III
(Roissard, 1962)
This volume contains Book XII and the last few of La Fontaine's fables. Bouffay's style is like nothing I have seen before. It is entirely in black-and-white. The illustrations, all full-page, present a character rather ...

Fables of La Fontaine
(Golden Pleasure Books, 1962)
Excellent runs on the ten colored illustrations of Trnka, which also appear in the 1974 and 1974/85 editions by Grund and Exeter. The best of these is the cover featuring the wolf as shepherd. There are good black-and-white ...
Jean de LaFontaine: Sechs Fabeln: Ein Bilderbuch von Koser-Michaels
(J.F. Schreiber Verlag, 1965)
Full-color pages are enhanced by having their images picked up in duochrome on facing pages. The text of OF does better than the illustration of the frog's explosion. I find both illustrations for GGE outstanding. FC, ...
Fables de La Fontaine
(Editions Hemma, 1967)
This oversize (12 x 9) book seems internally identical with Fables Choisies printed in Belgium and published by M.A. Hemmerlin in 1969. The two differences I can establish without having that book in hand are these: that ...
La Fontaine: Oeuvres Completes
(Editions du SeuilÉditions du Seuil, 1965)
A very nice small-print one volume work. The notes on the fables indicate sources and help with some archaic expressions. A careful source to work from.
