Fables de la Fontaine
(Pierre Didot l'Ainé et de Firmin Didot, 1817)
Here is a curious find. It combines a first half of La Fontaine's fables first published in An VII but now labelled 1817 with a second half still labelled An VII. Not only do I have copies of both halves, but I have just ...
Fables de la Fontaine, Tome Second
(P. Didot l'ainé et Firmin Didot, 1799)
This second of two volumes completes a set started nine years ago. The match with the first volume is not exact, even apart from the fact that this book has lost its covers. While much of the title-page is identical with ...
Reynard the Fox and Other Fables
(P.F. Volland, 1925)
This extra copy has a split in its spine. This book uses the illustrations of the Volland 1918 Fables in Rhyme for Little Folks (see my listing for 1918/24?) and puts them now with prose stories rather than the verse used ...
LaFontaine. fables choisies pour les enfants
(Librairie Plon, 1871)
This is the second of two extra copies, this one in poor condition. At last I have a very good copy of this simply wonderful book! The illustrations' colors are delightful. The best of them may be FM and WC. Boutet de ...
Fables Choisies de La Fontaine
(Librairies-Imprimeries Réunies, 1910)
Here is an extra copy with wear to the cloth covering the outer spine. Folio, cloth-backed pictorial boards. This book replicates--except for the series--a book of the same title I have listed under 1900?. See my comments ...
More Fables of La Fontaine
(William Heinemann Ltd., 1925)
Here is an extra copy of the first edition, signed and numbered. Marsh had just published Forty-Two Fables of La Fontaine in the same year with (Heinemann in England and?) Harper in the US. In the preface to the 1931 ...
The Fables of Jean De La Fontaine, I
(Limited Editions Club, 1930)
Here is the third of three extra copies of this book, signed by E. Willis Jones. The Fox and the Goat (Book III) and The Monkey and the Dolphin (Book IV) are the best of the small illustrations in this volume. I do not ...
The Fables of Jean De La Fontaine, I
(Limited Editions Club, 1930)
Here is the first of three extra copies of this book. The Fox and the Goat (Book III) and The Monkey and the Dolphin (Book IV) are the best of the small illustrations in this volume. I do not find them outstanding.

The Fables of Jean De La Fontaine, II
