Fables: Jean de La Fontaine (Korean)
(Crayon House, Ltd.K*ureyong Haus*u, 2003)
I was delighted to find this old friend translated into Korean in the few minutes I had to shop for books in Seoul on this trip. It seems to be a translation and otherwise a reproduction of the beautiful French 1994 version ...
La Fontaine: Fables
(Éditions du Panthéon, 1961)
This is a nice looking edition, often using two colors for the texts. No editor is acknowledged. I like the Dandelot water-color illustrations. They are big, bold, and colorful. Unless the cover counts as one of the ...
Fables de Florian, Suivies de Tobie et de Ruth
(Garnier Frères, 1850)
At last I have a worthy copy of this classic. The strange thing now is that I can find no reference to it in the literature. Hobbs, Bodemann, Schiller, and my favorite private collector seem to know nothing of this book. ...
Les plus belles Fables de La Fontaine
(L. Martinet: Librairies-Imprimeries RéuniesLibrairies-Imprimeries Réunies L. Martinet,, 1890)
Bodemann 368.2. This book is closest to La Fontaine: Fables Choisies (Bodemann 368.3), which I have listed under 1900? Other members of the family include the two volumes of Imagerie Artistique (Bodemann 368.1), which I ...
Mes Fables de La Fontaine
(Chez l'Auteur (Ch. Morellet), 1956)
I have long delayed cataloguing this little book, and now I have the chance to do it -- and the stimulus of having acquired a new edition. I cannot read all of these plagiarisms and pastiches, but I have enjoyed some. ...
Mes Fables de La Fontaine
(Chantreau & Fils, 1956)
This is a shorter book containing fifteen fables published in the same year as its source containing some one-hundred-and-thirty-one fables. This little volume has all the earmarks of a children's book but is not such, I ...
La Fontaine: Fables
(Hachette, 1929)
This is the standard school text for La Fontaine's fables today, recommended to me when I arrived at the Rue de Grenelle this year. It is a textbook of amazing staying power! There must be a way to tell what edition this ...
La Fontaine: Fables
(Flammariion, 1996)
A quick find at a little neighborhood bookstore that I happened to pass while wandering in Paris. There are illustrations from Oudry (frontispiece of La Fontaine), Grandville, and Doré. The special offering of this ...
A Hundred Fables of LaFontaine
(John Lane The Bodley Head, 1900)
This book has excellent illustrations. It is thinner than my 1900/1920? third edition. See my comments there. Like the third edition, this has a beautifully colored cover.
Les Fables de La Fontaine
(Dargaud S.A. Éditeur, 1946)
One of the most playful books I have seen in a while. Sections of La Fontaine's text are numbered to correspond to cartoon pictures. There is lots of wit here. A steam kettle boiling in one picture (DW) is smelled in ...
