A Hundred Fables of LaFontaine
(Distributed by Crown PublishersGreenwich House: Crown Publishers, 1983)
Alphabetical list of fables at the front. Each of the hundred fables has a striking black-and-white illustration by Billinghurst. The translations seem short and to the point.
Les plus belles fables de La Fontaine
(Distributed by Le Crédit MutuelPublicis Koufra: Le Crédit Mutuel, 1988)
This booklet has an unusual format, since it is 11½ across and about 8 high. Each of twenty fables has a two page spread combining four elements: a monochrome strip of designs including things like weather-vanes and ...
A Hundred Fables of La Fontaine
(Park South Books, 1988)
Here is an extra copy of this book. Identical with the Hampstead edition of the same title (1988). It looks from the advertisements and the absolute identity of the books as though Park South is the New York branch of ...

Fables of La Fontaine
(Chartwell Books, 1982)
Doré's illustrations were done in 1868 with a translation from the French by Thornbury. A beautiful book. AI at the back. The full-page illustrations are really grand. Only a few of them make the kind of shift I enjoy ...
Fabels van La Fontaine
(Van Goor jeugdboeken, 1982)
The pen-and-ink illustrations sometimes miss, like the cover-illustration that does not focus on the lost cheese. The best illustration is of the monkey and dolphin on 42. My first find in Amsterdam.
Fabels van La Fontaine
(ICOB, 1983)
A small gift booklet. For their size both the full-page reproductions and the vignettes come out surprisingly well. Sixty pages, with sixteen fables.
La Fontaine's Fables
(André Deutsch, 1984)
This book snuck up on me. The pictures are adequate. The poetic renditions of LaFontaine are good, brief enough, and sometimes quite witty. Surprises: the frogs and rabbits are both cowards; the crow is flattered for ...
La Fontaine: Fables: Texte intégral
(Hachette S.A., 1984)
This is as straightforward a text of La Fontaine as can be found. There are no notes, no illustrations, and no commentary. There is an AI at the back. The red cloth cover, with a crease across the upper right corner, ...
Le Piú Belle Favole di La Fontaine.
(CarroccioCarrocio, 1982)
Cheap watercolors. Maybe the fox of FG is worth using in a slide lecture in one of the three scenes they give him here. He has a good grimace when he leaves, and he uses a table to get at the grapes!
