The Ox and the Frog: Fable by Jean de la Fontaine
(Mulder & Zoon, 1955)
Here is the English version of a booklet I already have in French from the same publisher and artist and similarly listed under 1955? Like the other books in this series, this book builds off of a fascinating concept: a ...
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 ...
The Fables of Aesop and The Original Fables of La Fontaine
(London: J.M. Dent and Sons/NY: E.P. Dutton, 1939)
This volume lets us see publishers at work. I have--under 1915?--this publisher's Aesop's Fables, which is included here almost without change. I have five different copies of The Original Fables of La Fontaine, which ...
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 ...
Fables Choisies de La Fontaine
(L. MartinetLibrairies-Imprimeries Réunies, 1910)
Folio, cloth-backed pictorial boards. This book replicates--except for the series--a book of the same title I have listed under 1900?. See my comments there. The illustrations here, magnificent as they are, may be one ...
Fables de La Fontaine
(Imprimerie Moderne de Nantess.n., 1960)
Ten fables in a squarish hardbound edition that includes a colored illustration for each fable and some black-and-whites besides. This book seems a clear partial reprint in smaller format of of Marcus' 1949 edition with ...
Fables de La Fontaine
(Librairie Hachette, 1921)
The last page signals that this is the 1931 printing of Lorioux' work, which originally appeared in 1921. See my comments on the original edition, also by Hachette, under 1921? This edition changes the cover to offer a ...
Choix de Fables
(Librairie Gründ, 1954)
This is your bare-bones LaFontaine! No notes, no editor, no fable numbers (but there are books!), and no introductory material. AI at the rear. Though the book is only selected fables, it seems to cover a lot of ground.
Fables de La Fontaine
(Flammarion, 1952)
A beautiful oversize book with good monochrome and eight excellent full-page polychrome illustrations. The best of the monochrome illustrations are The Coach and the Fly (70) and The Deer and the Vine (109). The ...
Fables
(Presses Pocket, 1989)
An excellent pocket edition of the complete fables, not including the posthumous fables or the stories usually attached to the fable collection. The main source is given under the title of each fable. There is a good ...
