Les plus belles Fables de La Fontaine en relief et en musique
(Editions Luciens AdesLucos: Le Petit Ménestral: Editions Lucien Adés, 1956)
This is a worthy combination of a 33 rpm record and six excellent pop-up scenes. The La Fontaine scenes, presented in landscape format with the fable on the flat surface closest to the reader, are about 90% intact. In ...
Mesék: Második Kiadás
(Új Magyar Könyvkiadó, 1955)
This volume is notable for several reasons. First, it is the first Hungarian book in this collection. Secondly, it presents an unusual collection of colored illustrations at its close, including Barboutau's FC and Monkey ...
The League of Rats and Other Fables
(Tome Press, 2005)
32 pages. Black-and-white. What a curious piece! Was this really meant as the first issue of regular magazine? In any case, this pamphlet collects all of La Fontaine's fables dealing with rats and mice. Each fable has ...
Les Fables de La Fontaine: Tome 1
(Éditions Ada Inc., 2009)
Here is a heavy book offering on some 320 pages half of La Fontaine's fables, each with a full-page colored illustration. An AI at the beginning is also a T of C. I am trying to order Volume 2; this first volume presents ...
The Original Fables of La Fontaine
(London: J.M. Dent and Sons/NY: E.P. Dutton, 1913)
Almost identical with my 1913/30? edition. The cover here has a picture (not MM, which appears on the blue 1913/36/38 edition, but the fox and wolf in pails in the well), and the frontispiece picture does not have the ...
Fables de La Fontaine
(Jules Tallandier, 1906)
Here is a later printing of a book I found printed in 1992 on a trip to Paris in 1997. In Paris again in 2009 and unsure whether I had this edition, I picked up another copy. This copy, which is printed in Italy rather ...
Fables de La Fontaine, Tome Premier
(Armand Aubrée, Éditeur, 1838)
At first this seemed a second copy of a book I found twelve years ago at Minster Gate and have listed under 1839 (Bodemann #287.3). After closer inspection, I believe that this may be Bodemann #287.1, the first printing ...
Fables de La Fontaine, Tome Deuxième
(Armand Aubrée, Éditeur, 1839)
As I wrote for Volume I (1838?), this volume seemed at first a second copy of a book I found twelve years ago at Minster Gate and have listed under 1839 (Bodemann #287.3). After closer inspection, I believe that this may ...
Fables Choisies Mises en Vers par J. de la Fontaine: Nouvelle Edition Gravée en taille-douce, Vol. I
(Chez des Lauriers, Md. De Papiers, 1765)
This set of six volumes is one of the treasures of this collection! Apparently one of the causes of the publication was an urge to outdo Oudry's sumptuous edition of 1755-59. Many would say that Fessard succeeded. Metzner ...
Fables Choisies Mises en Vers par J. de la Fontaine: Nouvelle Edition Gravée en taille-douce, Vol. III
(Chez des Lauriers, Md. De Papiers, 1768)
Here is the third volume of the set of six volumes, published between 1765 and 1775. See my comments on the first volumes in 1765 and 1766. This volume contains only a T of C before it begins with The Woodcutter and ...
