La Fontaine: Fables choisies. Livres I à VI: 1668.
(Hachette, 1975)
This slim little paperback (with its 1976 companion volume) offers a variety of good helps indicated in the title-page description reproduced above. There are unfortunately only six single-pages of illustrations. The ...
Fables de La Fontaine II
(La Bonne Compagnie, 1946)
Again, a beautiful find. See my notes on the first volume. My favorite aquarelles here include the bed of the man who finds a louse significant matter to pray over (60), the road over the hill as an image for The Two ...
Fables de la Fontaine: Livre II
(Hachette, 1935)
A large-format, lively-pictured children's book in terrible shape. This sixteen-page booklet is unusual in that four of the seven LaFontaine fables it presents are little known.
Jean de la Fontaine: Fables Choisies I
(Société les belles lettres, 1934)
Earlier I had been given this 1948 reprint of this Budé text in two volumes. I am delighted now to find the original. The special feature of this pair of volumes is that, as the cover of this first volume shows, the pair ...
Fables de La Fontaine, No. 4
(Philips, 1959)
Here is Volume Four, found four years after I found Volume Two, published in 1957. Apparently I have one more livre-disque to find to have the set of four complete. This Livre-Disque contains six fables, pictured on the ...
Fables: La Fontaine.
(Bordas, 1964)
A fascinating school edition, with plenty of pictures. Some are from the tradition of Aesop: Pilpay, Oudry, Bayeux, Nevelet; others are from famous artists; then there are photos of pigs and cats for little French kids ...

Fables de La Fontaine: Tome Quatrième. Avec les figures d'Oudry dans l'édition Desaint et Saillant de 1755

See my comments on the first volume. My favorites on this trip through are LXIV, Le Jardinier et son Seigneur (both plates); LXVIII, L'Homme et l'Idole de Boix, where the illustration captures the breakup of the statue ...
fables: jean de la fontaine, illustreés par jean effel
(les éditions la farandole, 1975)
Twenty-six fables, sixteen of them illustrated by Effel's brilliant colors and simple, telling designs. I love his work more every time I see it! This book also keeps some but not all of the good line-cartoons that adorn ...
