Fables: Jean de la Fontaine
(Maison Mame, 1950)
I wrote extensively on this book already, only now to find a copy of it with a dust jacket, indeed, a dust jacket sewn onto the book. Since there is no way to see the cover here and no dust jacket there, I will keep both ...
Fables of La Fontaine
(Henry Holt and Company, 1930)
Seventy fables grouped effectively around themes of artistry, social groups, and seventeenth century ideas. The selection was made explicitly to help introduce students to La Fontaine as an artist and as an interpreter ...

Le Dessin Surprise avec les Fables de La Fontaine
(Editions Albin Michel, 1942)
For each of fifteen fables, there is a text and standard gray-and-black design on the left-hand page and then a paint-by-symbols puzzle on the right side. Several of the puzzles have been started. Here is yet one more ...

La Fontaine: Fables, Tome I
(Libraire-Editeur Papyria Soc. An., 1946)
I had to buy three books to get this one volume, new to me. Now I learn that it sets me on the search for a further volume! This is a typical large-format French post-WWII edition containing ten fables. It has a canvas ...

Cinquante fables de Jean de La Fontaine
(Aux dépens de Claude Tchou pour T.M.T.M., 1988)
