Mes Fables de La Fontaine
(Chez l'Auteur (Ch. Morellet), 1956)
I have long delayed cataloguing this little book, and now I have the chance to do it -- and the stimulus of having acquired a new edition. I cannot read all of these plagiarisms and pastiches, but I have enjoyed some. ...
Mes Fables de La Fontaine
(Chantreau & Fils, 1956)
This is a shorter book containing fifteen fables published in the same year as its source containing some one-hundred-and-thirty-one fables. This little volume has all the earmarks of a children's book but is not such, I ...
Les plus belles Fables de La Fontaine
(L. Martinet: Librairies-Imprimeries RéuniesLibrairies-Imprimeries Réunies L. Martinet,, 1890)
Bodemann 368.2. This book is closest to La Fontaine: Fables Choisies (Bodemann 368.3), which I have listed under 1900? Other members of the family include the two volumes of Imagerie Artistique (Bodemann 368.1), which I ...
Jean de la Fontaine: Fables Choisies

Favourite Fables from La Fontaine
(The Hamlyn Publishing Group Limited, 1972)
The graphics of this book are nearly identical with those in the French Fables de La Fontaine (1971/80) and the Italian Le favole di La Fontaine (1971/82). In fact, the book maintains the arrangement of the French original, ...
Fables de La Fontaine
(Maison Alfred Mame et Fils, 1910)
I can find no discrepancy between this book and Bodemann #376.1. Bodemann dates to about 1910 her leicht veränderter Nachdruck of the first edition of 1897. For all I can ascertain, this could even be the 1897 original ...
Fables de La Fontaine
(Maison Alfred Mame et Fils, 1910)
This book seems very close to the edition I have listed under 1910? and which Bodemann lists as #376.1. It has a plain binding, not the colored picture of the frontispiece that one finds on that copy. On the pre-title-page, ...
Etonnantes Histoires de Bêtes d'apres Monsieur de la Fontaine
