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, 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, Part IV
(Tappan and Dennet, 1841)
This book presents the second half of Volume II by covering Books X through XII of La Fontaine's fables. It thus becomes Part IV of four parts. This set of four volumes constitutes a wonderful surprise. I had thought ...

Fables of La Fontaine, Two Volumes in One
(Tappan and Dennet; NY: Willliam A. Colman/London: Edward Moxon, 1841)
My brother John and I parked in front of this shop at almost exactly 6 p.m. to visit another store in Sonoma, which turned out to be closed by then. Upon our return to Chanticleer, they announced that they were closed, ...
Fables de La Fontaine Choisies pour les Enfants (Cover: Choix de Fables de La Fontaine)
(Amedee Bedelet Libraire,Amédée Bédelet, Libraire, 1847)
The title-page continues Accompagnées de Notes Explicatives et Précédées d'un Aperçu sur la Fable et le Principaux Fabulistes. Bodemann helps with this edition, which I take to be #303.2. All the data seem to match. The ...
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 de Florian, Suivies de Tobie et de Ruth
(J.-J. Dubochet et Cie, 1842)
For some time, I have wanted to get an early Grandville Florian. Here is the earliest! It was a major find for me with an old friend at an impressive international book fair. François Coté describes the qualities of the ...
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 ...
