Fables de la Fontaine N°2
(Imagerie Pellerin, 1985)
"This beautiful paperbound booklet is nearly identical with another in the collection. Its key difference is that Pellerin seems to update the copyright for every printing. In any case, both the cover and the rear colophon ...
fabulas de La Fontaine
(Europa-Ediexport, 1980)
In this large-format, comic-like pamphlet, eight fables from La Fontaine receive two pages each, with three-quarters of a page given to a simple colored illustration. Most add a short moral in parentheses. The cover ...
Les Fables de La Fontaine
(France Loisirs, 1988)
Here is something strange. The format of this book is exactly like that of a book published in 1992 by Grasset Jeunesse, 50 Fables de La Fontaine. It also has a preface--but a different one--by Marc Soriano. This volume ...
La Fontaine: Fables, Tome II, Livres VII à XII
(Imprimerie Nationale, 1985)
Bodemann #576.1. Marie Hugo's illustrations seem very familiar, but I cannot find them elsewhere in this collection. The comments in Bodemann are, as often, illuminating. There are fourteen full-page colored illustrations, ...
La Fontaine: L'Âne et le Roi
(Dessain et TolraDessaom et Tolra, 1982)
This is a whimsical book of 80 pages, about 8½ x 10. With colored illustrations of a donkey-king and a vulture (?) on its front cover and of a frog on its back cover, it has two-color art inside. From my understanding ...
La Fontaine: Fables, Tome I, Livres I à VI
(Imprimerie Nationale, 1985)
Bodemann #576.1. Marie Hugo's illustrations seem very familiar, but I cannot find them elsewhere in this collection. The comments in Bodemann are, as often, illuminating. There are fourteen full-page colored illustrations, ...
Fables de La Fontaine
(Prosveta, 1989)
A beautiful huge book found at one of my first stops in an all-day Montreal bookstore tour. The closest parallel is the Chartwell/Ebeling Fables of La Fontaine of 1982. See my comments there. The two books are the same ...
Fables de La Fontaine
(Editions G.P., 1981)
I like this book. Its paintings for kids have an exuberant (sometimes even overexuberant) quality; they are alive with color and action. Cute mice act out comments, e.g., holding their ears near the frog about to explode. ...
The Turtle and the Two Ducks: Animal Fables Retold from La Fontaine.
(Thomas Y. Crowell, 1981)
Eleven witty prose fables freely retold to capture the irreverent fun of the original verses. The broken turtle after the fall is a visual delight. There are frequent little animal spectators. I enjoy this art. The ...
La Fontaine
(Black Star Series, 1981)
Aesop, then la Fontaine, now Bob and Bruce. The snarling animal on the cover gives the tone of this translation/comment/reinterpretation of la Fontaine. A comment on the back cover speaks aptly of the grisly political ...
