Jean de La Fontaine: Fables
(Gallimard Jeunesse, 2003)
This lovely little book, 6½ x 7½, is a new favorite. My affection for the book starts with the way the cover illustrations are painted onto the page as though they were stickers. These figures include the fox and crow, ...
The Hare and the Tortoise: Fable by Jean de la Fontaine
(Mulder & Zoon, 1955)
Here is a parallel to a number of books I have in both English and Dutch. All come from the same publisher and use the same artist. I have listed them all under 1955? The booklets build off of a fascinating concept: a ...
The Raven and the Fox: Fable by Jean de la Fontaine
(Mulder & Zoon, 1955)
Here is the English version of a booklet I already have in French from the same publisher and artist and similarly listed under 1955? Like the other books in this series, this book builds off of a fascinating concept: a ...
La Fontaine: Le laboureur et ses enfants, Le pot de terre et le pot de fer
(Editions Lito-Paris, 1981)
Here is one of a series of some eighteen pamphlets. I am surprised at the title Fabliaux since the titles listed on the last page are all fables. At any rate, my work as a collector is cut out for me! This first find ...
Fables Choisies de la Fontaine et Florian
(Collection Paul Duval, 1946)
I would naturally think that this large-format children's book is identical with another slightly larger in size with the same cover and title-page from Imprimerie Gordinne in Belgium, for which I have also guessed at a ...
Fables de La Fontaine: Deuxième Partie
(Librairie Illustrée. Paris: Jules Tallandier, 1906)
This second volume (of three, I presume) presents a second group of fables stretching from IV 8 through VII 14. The same surprising little section in English appears at the lower left of the pre-title page: Published ...
La Fontaine: Fables
(HachetteHatchette, 1958)
Now I have an earlier edition of this book from Hachette that I have already listed with its 1973 printing. See my comments under 1958/73. This printing was done in Monaco in 1961. The book had belonged to a school ...
Fables de La Fontaine
(Garnier FreresGarnier Frères, Libraires, 1864)
Full text of the fables. I find that I have another edition by the same publisher, editor, and artist with more illustrations. See my comments on it under 1910? There I had picked out six images as not in the Grandville ...
Fables de La Fontaine: Première Partie
(Librairie Illustrée. Paris: Jules Tallandier, 1906)
This first volume (of three, I presume) presents the first seventy fables of La Fontaine, through IV 7, Le Singe et le Dauphin--which has some black-and-white illustration work typical of Rabier's lively and fun-loving ...
Trente-deux Fables de J. de La Fontaine
(Éditions Musy Frères, 1944)
This is a wonderful book! I feel lucky that it has fallen into my hands. Pierre Varenne in his preface speaks of the most French of the poets helping people to forget the gloomy faces of today. Thirty-two artists of this ...
