Etonnantes Histoires de Bêtes d'apres Monsieur de la Fontaine
(Les Editions Leclercq, 1947)

Quarante-Cinq Fables de La Fontaine
(Les Laboratoires Bouillet, Roger Dacosta, Éditeur, 1937)

Les Fables de La Fontaine
(Dargaud S.A. Éditeur, 1946)
See an almost identical volume in the same year with the same title from the same publisher. The differences here lie in the cover, binding, and publisher. The covers are no longer a multi-colored cartoon scene of many ...
Choix de Fables Pour Les Petits (cover: Fables de La Fontaine)
(Editions Chagor, 1946)
This oversized canvas-bound children's book of colorable pictures is in keeping with the two Belgian books titled Fables Choisies and dated 1946? The illustrations are those found there. Here the pictures are all signed ...

Fables in Rhyme for Little Folks Adapted from the French of La Fontaine.
(Wise Book Co., 1918)
Here is a fourth copy, that is, an extra beyond the three in the collection. It has a red-printed cover. This Downtown copy seems to be fuzzy in its illustrations more frequently than the others. A nice Volland reprint. ...
Fables in Rhyme for Little Folks.
(P.F. Volland, 1918)
Here is an extra copy with a weak spine. A wonderful little book! Eighteen fables, each done with four excellent, witty pictures. This printing comes off as very successful, especially in contrast with some other ...
