La Fontaine. fables choisies pour les enfants
(E. Plon-Nourrit et CiePlon-Nourrit & Cie., 1871)
In cataloguing probable first editions of this book, I noticed a difference in both title-pages and covers. The publisher's name is lacking on the title page of those copies, which I have listed under 1871, while both of ...
Fables de La Fontaine
(Mame, 1901)
A beautiful little gift. The small, delightful engravings reproduce but do not repeat Girardet: the format is different, and a keen eye can spot plenty of differences. The book exemplifies the combined continuity and ...
Les Fables de La Fontaine
(Editions Lito, 1992)
This book of forty-one fables emphasizes cuteness and childlike fun. The characters all have round little eyes with black beads inside them. The dress of animals receives particular attention. One can spend a long time ...
Fables: Jean de La Fontaine
(Editions Lito, 1991)
This book of five fables emphasizes fun and movement. The hare in TH has earphones and and a book, while the tortoise wears an aviator's cap and goggles. The frog uses a pump to blow itself up towards ox-size. The reader ...
Fables de La Fontaine
(Nelson, 1910)
The eight colored illustrations are a chief attraction of this book. See La Fontaine's Fables: A Selection from Nelson in 1905 for larger versions of these illustrations and Selected Fables from LaFontaine (1905?). Six ...
Fables: La Fontaine: Tome 1
(Bordas, 1969)
See 1964 for Tome 2, which I found eight years ago. In fact, I thought I was picking up an inexpensive extra. The first surprise was that the dealer wanted $1.50 for a book marked $.50. The second surprise came when I ...
Fables de J. de la Fontaine
(Bernardin-B�chet, 1877)
This little volume is identical, except for its cover, with volumes I have from Urbino in Boston in 1870 and from Bernardin-B�chet et Fils in Paris in 1869, 1875, and 1885. The outstanding features of this copy by contrast ...
Reynard the Fox and Other Fables
(P.F. Volland, 1925)
This book uses the illustrations of the Volland 1918 Fables in Rhyme for Little Folks (see my listing for 1918/24?) and puts them now with prose stories rather than the verse used there. Most fables also get new titles. ...
Fables de la Fontaine
(George R. Lockwood, 1870)
This book seems to be inscribed in 1873, and thus I guess at 1870 as a publication date. The book is largely identical with my three Mame editions of this book (1890, 1890/92, and 1890/1901). See my comments there, ...
Selected Fables/Fables Choisies: Jean de La Fontaine
(Dover Publications, 1997)
This is as simple and straightforward as an inexpensive dual-language text can be. The T of C lists La Fontaine's sources for the seventy-five fables that are presented, and a helpful key follows. The introduction might ...
