Jean de la Fontaine: Selected Fables
(Dover Publications, 2000)
Here is an inexpensive ($1.50) verse version of some seventy of La Fontaine's most famous fables. This surprise find will be worth considering the next time I teach fables. My congratulations to Dover for making it so ...
Fables de La Fontaine
(Editions Fabbri, 1961)
See the English version of the presumably Italian original of this book under The Fables of Aesop and La Fontaine (1958). Surprisingly, it took Fabbri three years after the English version to get to this French version. ...
Classic Fables
(API Limited, 1992)
Here is, I think, a first for my collection. A book that I had already had in French appears here in English. Of course, this is perfectly natural for a book from Ottawa. Even things like the price and the typeface are ...
Mes Fables de La Fontaine
(Chantreau & Fils, 1956)
This is a shorter book containing fifteen fables published in the same year as its source containing some one-hundred-and-thirty-one fables. This little volume has all the earmarks of a children's book but is not such, I ...
Mes Fables de La Fontaine
(Chez l'Auteur (Ch. Morellet), 1956)
I have long delayed cataloguing this little book, and now I have the chance to do it -- and the stimulus of having acquired a new edition. I cannot read all of these plagiarisms and pastiches, but I have enjoyed some. ...
Mon Grand Livre de Fables de la Fontaine
(Editions Ronde du Tournesol, 1988)
Straight La Fontaine verse texts with lively part-page colored illustrations for children. Here for the first time, I think, I have seen the bird illustrated as receiving only a flesh-wound from the feathered arrow (11), ...
Le Lion et le Rat: Fable de La Fontaine.
(Mulder, 1955)
Here is the French version of a smaller and more recent pamphlet from Grandreams that I dated 1986? This booklet is not only larger; it takes more space for things like a title-page and a last repeated illustration (detail ...
Choix de Fables de La Fontaine: Album pour les Enfants
(Librairie Garnier Freres, 1926)
A lovely large-format book in paperboard covers. There are thirty fables of La Fontaine, each introduced with a good Grandville engraving. There are also six full-paged color illustrations by Jules David. If he is the ...
A Hundred Fables of LaFontaine
(John Lane The Bodley Head, 1900)
After spending $120 for a third printing and then $70 for a second, I have worked my way back to a first printing for much less money. When I earlier reviewed the 1920? printing, I thought that the best of the illustrations ...
Les Fables de La Fontaine pour Bebe
(Librairie de Théodore LefèvreThéodore Lefèvre et Cie., 1886)
Here is a beautiful oversized (12½ x 10) book containing twenty-two color plates after Oudry. They really are striking. As the description from Abbey points out, the subtle coloring is very close in appearance to hand ...
