Fables de La Fontaine
(Editions Fabbri, 1960)
This book, along with a larger-format book of the same title by the same artist and publisher one year later, must be involved in some curious history. This book is almost 10 by almost 10½. Did Editions Fabbri produce ...
Fables: La Fontaine.
(Bordas, 1964)
A fascinating school edition, with plenty of pictures. Some are from the tradition of Aesop: Pilpay, Oudry, Bayeux, Nevelet; others are from famous artists; then there are photos of pigs and cats for little French kids ...
La Fontaine: Fables choisies mises en vers.
(Garnier Frères, 1962)
A hefty paperback. In analysing this book I have realized that La Fontaine's original book was titled Selected Fables, so my search here to see what was left out was futile! The black-and-white reproductions are only ...
Fables: La Fontaine: Tome 1
(Bordas, 1969)
See 1964 for Tome 2, which I found eight years ago. In fact, I thought I was picking up an inexpensive extra. The first surprise was that the dealer wanted $1.50 for a book marked $.50. The second surprise came when I ...
Fables: La Fontaine: Tome 2
(Bordas, 1964)
Only the cover and later printing date seem to distinguish this printing from that of 1964. See my comments there.
The Fables of La Fontaine
(Doubleday, 1963)
Here is a seccond copy of this book this one without a dust jacket. I had searched for ten years and never had this book in my hand. Experts in children's books did not even know that Scarry had done a LaFontaine book. ...
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 ...
Jean de la Fontaine: Fables II
(Roissard, 1962)
This volume contains the Books VII through XI 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 de La Fontaine
(Fratelli Fabbri Editori, 1964)
See my version dated 1965 and otherwise almost identical. They share a 1962 copyright by O.D.E.J., Paris. As I write there, this is a large-format children's book, now the third distinct set of work I have by Cremonini ...
