The Original Fables of La Fontaine
(London: J.M. Dent and Sons/NY: E.P. Dutton, 1913)
Again, I am surprised. I thought I had picked up a potentially better copy of a book I already have. Well, it is true that the interior of this book is exactly like that which I have listed under 1913?/1913? from these ...
Jean de LaFontaine: Sechs Fabeln: Ein Bilderbuch von Koser-Michaels
(J.F. Schreiber Verlag, 1965)
Full-color pages are enhanced by having their images picked up in duochrome on facing pages. The text of OF does better than the illustration of the frog's explosion. I find both illustrations for GGE outstanding. FC, ...
Fables de La Fontaine en Images Lumineuses
(Albums du Père Castor: Flammarion, Éditeur, 1935)
There are here six silhouette images of fable scenes from La Fontaine. Apparently, another six are missing, perhaps from the stapled center of this pamphlet. The full list of twelve fables appears on the bottom of the ...
Fables de la Fontaine N°1
(Imagerie Pellerin, 1982)
This book seems to reproduce, with several changes, a similar edition dated 1978. This book lacks any reference to Hachette and Série Verte. Like that volume, it offers seventeen well-chosen fables of La Fontaine. As I ...
Fables de la Fontaine N°2
(Imagerie Pellerin, 1982)
Here is the second volume accompanying a similar Pellerin reprint from the same year. Again two black-and-white illustrations bracket fifteen full-page colored illustrations. TH (14) is not only one of the liveliest ...
La Fontaine: Fables
(La Societé d'Éditions Les Lettres Françaises, 1943)
Here is a curious little book which I happened to pick up because I wanted the books with which it was joined on eBay. It is a standard pair of French paperback volumes bound together in a leather cover, offering the first ...
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 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 ...
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 ...
The Grasshopper and the Ant and other La Fontaine Fables
(Grolier Society, 1968)
I could not remember this booklet, and I happened to be right: I did not have it previously. I do have the parallel 1967 Grolier edition The Fox and the Stork And Other La Fontaine Fables. Note that this book uses small ...
