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 ...
One Hundred Fables by La Fontaine
(Ginn and Company, 1906)
A helpful little book inscribed in Cambridge. I think the book's first gift lies in its identification of one hundred of LaFontaine's 238 fables for special attention. The copious English notes at the rear help someone ...
Fables de la Fontaine
(J.M. Dent & Sons Ltd.,, 1906)
An English introduction praises Keen's book for enabling the learner to appreciate the fables' literary charm while she or he learns the language, particularly French word formation and vocabulary. Forty-one fables are ...
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 ...
Fables de La Fontaine 1
(Jules Tallandier, 1906)
At last a comprehensive reproduction of Rabier's La Fontaine! Rabier had followed LaFontaine's order more or less. This book follows Rabier's original strictly except for one section where three fables from Book I (The ...
Fables de La Fontaine 2
(Jules Tallandier, 1906)
See my comments on Volume 1. This volume takes TH and The Carter Stuck in the Mud from their place in Book VI and inserts them at its beginning, apparently in order to let the cover illustrate the first story inside the ...
Fables de La Fontaine 4
(Jules Tallandier, 1906)
See my comments on Volume 1. This volume begins with OF, for which the cover provides an illustration. Whence comes this illustration, since it is not from either the cover or the illustrations in the 1906 edition? Along ...
Fables de La Fontaine 3
(Jules Tallandier, 1906)
See my comments on Volume 1. This volume switches the order of Le Coche et la Mouche and MM so as to present the latter, its cover picture, first. For its last fable, it imports Le Loup et le Renard from Book XI. I am ...
Fables de La Fontaine
(Jules Tallandier, 1906)
Here is a very nice selection of Rabier's work, done by the same publisher that published his work originally. True to the 1906 edition, the illustrations mix pages of black-and-white with pages of color. T of C at the ...
Fables de La Fontaine
(Jules Tallandier, 1906)
Here is a second copy of this magnificent book! I keep it in the collection because both copies have seen extensive wear. This copy is better externally and the original copy from Bookhouse, Arlington, VA, in 1991 is ...
