La Fontaine's Fables Choisies
(Henry Holt and Company, 1900)
A selection of seventy-eight fables for English-readers. Notes on vocabulary and sources (81) and advertisements for Holt's many French texts follow. Perhaps the most distinguishing feature of this book for us today lies ...
Fables de La Fontaine: Deuxième Partie
(Librairie Illustrée. Paris: Jules Tallandier, 1906)
I had presumed when ordering this copy that it was another copy of a book which I already had. That presumption was wrong, as it has often been wrong before. This book has a different front cover, different different ...
Fables de La Fontaine: Première Partie
(Librairie Illustrée. Paris: Jules Tallandier, 1906)
I had presumed when ordering this copy that it was another copy of a book which I already had. That presumption was wrong, as it has often been wrong before. This book has a different front cover, different quality paper, ...
Fables de La Fontaine
(Editions TallandierÉditions Tallandier, 1906)
Here is a good selection of Rabier's work, done by the same publisher that published his work originally. Here all of the illustrations are in color. There is a T of C at the end. 64 fables. It pays to compare and ...
La Fontaine's Fables: A Selection
(Thomas Nelson and Sons, 1905)
Here is the third of three copies of this book that I am keeping in the collection. This copy has a pictorial cover, while the others have lime cloth (Ripping Yarns) and a gray cloth (Luce). Though all three show a date ...

Fables de La Fontaine: Première Partie
(Librairie Illustrée. Paris: Jules Tallandier, 1906)
This volume, in poor condition, duplicates another already in the collection. It may be the earlier of the two. Several things are different. The color of the cover-boards is cream rather than white. The formatting of ...
Fables de La Fontaine (Premiere et Deuxième Partie)
(Jules Tallandier, 1906)
This looks at first acquaintance like the complete Rabier LaFontaine. A closer look reveals that it is a combination of the first and second of three parts. Ironically, those are the two independent parts that I already ...
Les Fables de La Fontaine
(Éditées specialement pour les Magasins du bon Marché, 1901)
This book reduplicates editions I already have listed under 1897 and 1907. It was already then a derivative but lovely book. Its eighty-one gravures from the eighteenth century La Fontaine en Estampes seem to be mostly ...
Fables de La Fontaine: Cent Fables Choisies
(Librairie Renouard, 1904)
One of the most beautiful books in the collection, and in very good condition. Apparently unknown to standard bibliographers like Quinnam, Hobbs, and Bassy, it is in my favorite private collection. It is well described ...
