LaFontaine: Selected Fables
(Viking Press, 1979)
Michie's poetry seems sprightly. Grandville's illustrations really are a treasure-house. Unfortunately, they are not very well rendered here and are rather small. The quality of printing of the illustrations seems to ...
Fables of La Fontaine
(Edward MoxonTappan and Dennet, 1841)
A magnificent pair of volumes! The pagination is exactly the same as in the Derby and Jackson edition (1860) that describes itself as two volumes in one. There is some staining of the pages. The printing of the illustrations ...

La Fontaine: The Wolf, the Goat and the Kid and the Fox and the Squirrel
(Litor Publishers Ltd., 1985)
This little children's book of 7 x 7½ has simple illustrations. My prize goes to the kid's view of the wolf's eye through the peephole. The second fable has a lovely turn when it says that Aesop has stories that show ...
La Fontaine: The Crow and the Fox and The Little Fish and the Fisherman
(Children's Books Ltd.Litor Publishers Ltd., 1985)
This little children's book of 7 x 7½ has very simple illustrations with an emphasis on lots of strong facial expressions. The versions of the two fables here are faithful to La Fontaine; FC is as faithful as I have ever ...
Fables de La Fontaine
(Fratelli Fabbri Editori, 1964)
See my version dated 1965 and otherwise almost identical. They share a 1962 copyright by O.D.E.J., Paris. As I write there, this is a large-format children's book, now the third distinct set of work I have by Cremonini ...
La Fontaine: The Hen who laid the Golden Eggs and the Sponge-carrier and the Salt-carrier
(Children's Books Ltd.Litor Publishers Ltd., 1985)
This little children's book of 7 x 7½ is colorful and attractive. The texts are arranged in sense lines. The versions of the two fables here are faithful to La Fontaine. Notice the looks on the two donkeys' faces ...
La Fontaine: Le Lion et le Rat, La Colombe et la Fourmi
(Flammarion, 1978)
This small (5 x 6½) book is most remarkable for Giannini's mix of broad backgrounds and very detailed foregrounds, especially in faces, in his colored artwork. The hunter on 19 is outfitted with crossbow, dagger, sword, ...
Le Lion et le Rat: Collection Fables
(Albo Delmar Import-ExportEdiciones A. Saldaña, 1984)
Copyright 1984 Ediciones Al Saldaña. This is a die-cut pamphlet of eight pages. It starts very abruptly without a title-page. The aggressive little rat hits the sleeping lion in the head with a pea-shooter! The rat ...
Once Again, La Fontaine: Sixty More Fables
(Wesleyan University Press: University Press of New England, 2000)
Shapiro and Schorr are at it again! This marks their third book together on La Fontaine. It is, I believe, another triumph. The translations are crisp. I enjoyed, for example, The Charlatan (115). I am surprised at ...
