Fables de La Fontaine classées par Ordre de Difficulté avec Notice en Tète de chaque Fable et notes
(Librairie Armand Colin, 1916)

Choix de Fables de J. de La Fontaine
(Librarie Hachette et cie, 1886)
Ninety-two fables with the head-pieces and tail-pieces of Doré but none of his full-page illustrations. The front cover is separating. T of C at the end. The red leather and gilt pages all around are the most remarkable ...
Fables Choisies de la Fontaine et Florian
(Imprimerie Gordinne, 1946)
Large-format children's book containing twenty-five fables. The book is reminiscent of two I have listed under 1936?, which were also produced in Belgium. Like those, this book combines eight colored full-page illustrations ...
La Fontaine: Les Fables et les Bêtes
(Maison Mame, 1946)
A standard selection of eighteen La Fontaine fables with a full page of color for each fable. The color work on the title-page illustration of the fox in the grass is outstanding! Other good work is 39 (Le Coche et la ...
Recueil des Fables de La Fontaine (Cover: Les belles Fables de la Fontaine)
(Editions René Touret, 1936)
This large-format coloring-book with 10-1936 on its back is thinner but in the same format as the coverless book I found a year earlier along the Seine. They share the same title-page title, though this one has Les belles ...

(Editions René Touret, 1936)

Choix de Fables de La Fontaine: Album pour les Enfants avec de nombreuses illustrations par J.-J. Grandville. Chromotypogravure de Brun et Cie.
(Librairie Garnier Frères, 1930)
With just a few changes, this book reproduces the first edition done by Garnier Frères in 1926; see my comments there. The additions are a front cover by C. Hirlemann, endpapers including the animal figures of Benjamin ...
50 Fables de La Fontaine
(Grasset Jeunesse, 1992)
The finely detailed primitive paintings recommend this book highly. They range from full page illustrations down to single figures taking part of a page. Among the best are those of the two old men asking for death, le ...
Fables de La Fontaine
(Flammarion, 1952)
Here is an original of the book I first came to know in its reproduction of 1983. Good monochrome and eight excellent full-page polychrome illustrations. The best of the monochrome illustrations are The Coach and the Fly ...
Les fables de la Fontaine
(L'Etoile ÉditionsPiccolia, 1993)
Here is a very large-format book (almost 9½ x 12) with connections to several European countries. Apparently the illustrations were first done for a group in England. Its name is listed twice: County Studio and Contry ...
