The Grasshopper and the Ant: La Fontaine's Fables Vol. 1.
(Tamagawa University Press, 1979)
A really beautiful set of three books. Pack and his wife picked this as their favorite when we reviewed a great day's findings from Kanda. In this first volume, a T of C at the Japanese front is followed by sixteen fables ...

The Two Pigeons: La Fontaine's Fables Vol. 3.

A Hundred Fables of LaFontaine
(Distributed by Crown PublishersGreenwich House: Crown Publishers, 1983)
Alphabetical list of fables at the front. Each of the hundred fables has a striking black-and-white illustration by Billinghurst. The translations seem short and to the point.
Pour Charmer Nos Petits
(D.C. Heath & Co., 1920)

Fables of La Fontaine
(Chartwell Books, 1982)
Doré's illustrations were done in 1868 with a translation from the French by Thornbury. A beautiful book. AI at the back. The full-page illustrations are really grand. Only a few of them make the kind of shift I enjoy ...
Fabels van La Fontaine
(Van Goor jeugdboeken, 1982)
The pen-and-ink illustrations sometimes miss, like the cover-illustration that does not focus on the lost cheese. The best illustration is of the monkey and dolphin on 42. My first find in Amsterdam.

The title-page is missing. The book includes three contes and a section of eleven fables, each on a two-page spread, introduced by a single image of a fox in a cape and trousers. In fact, these are the same fables and ...
Fables de La Fontaine
(Gordinne, 1940)
This book is identical internally with the first 32 pages of a Fables de La Fontaine published by the same publisher, Gordinne in Liege. The only internal change is the year at the bottom of 32. That book goes on to ...
