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 ...
Fables Inédites des XIIe, XIIIe et XIVe Siècles et Fables de la Fontaine
(Etienne Cabin, 1825)
I already have a copy of this book. This second copy differs in one essential respect: It adds a name under La Fontaine's picture in the frontispiece! How curious! It differs in other respects, too. It has no slipsheet ...
La Fontaine: Fables, Tome II
(Libraire-Editeur Papyria Soc. An., 1946)
Here is a major triumph and a major stroke of luck. Earlier this year, I catalogued Volume I of this two-volume edition and mentioned that it set me on a search for the other volume. How lucky I am to have found it on ...
Jean de la Fontaine: Fables illustrées par Willy Aractingi, Tome 1
(Z'editionsZ'éditions, 1997)
A tip over the web put me on to this book. Aractingi did the menus for Air France that I have had for some ten years. This is a beautiful landscape-formatted paperback book. This volume covers the first three books of ...
Fables de la Fontaine
(Ernest FlammarionFlammarion-Jeunesse, 1961)
This book is memorable for me first of all because there was a mix-up over shipment of it. I received another, rather commonplace La Fontaine edition, and Ms. Kerby and I feared that this book might have been lost or ...
The Lion Grown Old
(Litor Publishers, 1960)
This sixteen-page pamphlet about 7 x 7½ has lively illustrations inside covers that show a good deal of wear. From the title-page on, the lion has a pince-nez that is slipping off of his nose. He acquires bandages on his ...
Five Fables of La Fontaine
(Grolier Society, 1967)
Surprise! When I bought this, I thought it was the 1967 Grolier edition that I already have, The Fox and the Stork And Other La Fontaine Fables, with its illustrations by Boutet de Monvel. Of course, when I found that ...
Fables: Jean de la Fontaine (Fox and Crow cover)
(Maison Mame, 1950)
There is a small chapter in publishing history hidden in this book. Interiorly it is almost identical with the copy of this book that I had found during June, 1989 at In and Out of Print Books in San Francisco. See my ...
Fables de La Fontaine
(Librairie Hachette, 1921)
I already have a copy of this 1929 printing of Lorioux's great work, formerly owned by the Newark Free Public Library, from Hoboken Books in 1998, and in fact I paid then one cent more than I just paid for this edition! ...
Fables de La Fontaine
(Hachette, 1921)
I already have an edition of this lovely book that I think is a first edition, but it differs from this one in its cover and last page. This cover has a strip of gold background over the top quarter featuring the title. ...
