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 ...
Fables de La Fontaine classées par Ordre de Difficulté avec Notice en Tète de chaque Fable et notes
(Librairie Armand Colin, 1905)
I have this book in its later editions of 1916 and 1920. Here, in the best condition of all, is the earliest of the three from 1905. As I mentioned there, it classifies and organizes La Fontaine's fables in three levels: ...

Les Fables de La Fontaine pour Bebe

This book reproduces another in the collection, but with several changes. It might be several years younger than my other copy. Notice these differences. On the front cover, the publisher's name is inside the frame ...
Fables de La Fontaine
(H. Fournier Ainé, 1838)
One of the finest works I have. The illustrations (120 in the two volumes) are exceptionally clear here. Some of the best are of the city and country rats (20), the cat-woman (82), the lion in love (127), and the fox ...
