Fables de La Fontaine Illustrées
(Chez Delarue, Libraire, 1848)
"This book looked very familiar, but it did not seem to line up well with the one book I have of La Fontaine from Delarue. I noticed on the last page that it was printed by Mame in Tours. I checked, and Mame in Tours did ...
Fables of La Fontaine, 3rd ed., Vol. II
(Tappan and Dennet, 1842)
Apparently identical with the fourth edition, which I have. A lovely little pair of books. See my comment on Volume I. Twenty-five well executed and well preserved illustrations; it is a shame that they are so small. ...
Fables of La Fontaine, 3rd ed., Vol. I
(Tappan and Dennet, 1842)
Apparently identical with the fourth edition, which I have. A lovely little pair of books. The notice says that the warm reception of Grandville's illustrations in the 1841 original was expected, but the favor accorded ...
Fables de La Fontaine Choisies pour les Enfants
(Amédée Bédelet Libraire,, 1847)
This book belongs to a family with another in the collection, published also by Bédelet, for which I have with Metzner and Bodemann guessed a date of 1847. That family is Bodemann #303. In fact, the four magnificent ...
Fables of La Fontaine, Part II
(Tappan and Dennet, 1841)
This book continues the first half of Volume I by covering Books IV through VI of La Fontaine's fables. It thus becomes Part II of four parts. This set of four volumes constitutes a wonderful surprise. I had thought it ...
Fables of La Fontaine, Part I
(Tappan and Dennet, 1841)
This set of four volumes constitutes a wonderful surprise. I had thought it would be a worthy second copy of the original Tappan and Dennet publication of Wright's translation of La Fontaine. I remembered the printing ...
Fables of La Fontaine, Part III
(Tappan and Dennet, 1841)
This book presents the first half of Volume II by covering Books VII through IX of La Fontaine's fables. It thus becomes Part III of four parts. This set of four volumes constitutes a wonderful surprise. I had thought ...

Fables of La Fontaine, 4th ed., Vol. II
(Tappan and Dennet, 1843)
A lovely little pair of books. See my comment on Volume I. Twenty-five well executed and well preserved illustrations; it is a shame that they are so small. The best of them is of the squealing pig on the way to slaughter (71).
Fables of La Fontaine, 4th ed., Vol. I
(Tappan and Dennet, 1843)
A lovely little pair of books. The notice says that the warm reception of Grandville's illustrations in the 1841 original was expected, but the favor accorded Wright's translation was not! The present volumes cost 10% ...
