Fables de la Fontaine
(Maison Alfred Mame et Fils, 1926)
An instant favorite! I had never known of this book, which is not in Bassy. It is in good condition except for a weakening spine and some damage to the cover. Sixty fables with a T of C at the end. Sixteen full-page ...
Fables frae the French in Braid Scots
(Andrew Baxendine, 1912)
Who would ever have known that this book existed? T of C at the beginning identifies the French source for each of the 108 fables. The Scots vocabulary makes reading here tough. There are nice advertisements inside the ...
Fables de La Fontaine: Cent Fables Choisies
(Librairie Renouard, 1904)
This copy is almost identical with one other in the collection, for which I have used the same date, publisher, editor, and author. It has several subtle differences. It borrows from the paperback edition of 1925, which ...
Mes premières fables de la Fontaine
(Librairie Fernand Nathan et Cie., 1974)
This is a second, distinct, fable book in the same series as mes nouvelles fables de la Fontaine by the same artist and publisher in the same year. The pictures are cute. Both books are examples of the perduring tradition ...
Choix de Fables de La Fontaine: Album pour les Enfants avec de nombreuses illustrations par J.-J. Grandville. Chromotypogravure de Brun et Cie
(Librairie Garnier Frères, 1930)
This book represents a curiosity. It stands, as it were, halfway between the 1930 edition, with which it shares the cover picture by C. Hirlemann and colophon at the end acknowledging printing in 1930 by Paul Dupont in ...
Jean de la Fontaine: Fables illustrées par Willy Aractingi, Tome 1
(Z'editions, 1997)
Here is a second copy of this excellent book. A tip over the web put me on to this book. Aractingi did the menus for Air France that I have had for some ten years. This is a beautiful landscape-formatted paperback book. ...
Choix de Fables de La Fontaine: Album pour les Enfants
(Librairie Garnier Freres, 1926)
Here is a second copy of this book, a lovely large-format book in paperboard covers. There are thirty fables of La Fontaine, each introduced with a good Grandville engraving. There are also six full-paged color illustrations ...
Les Fables de la Fontaine
(API Limited, 1992)
Here is an extra copy of this book. There are just two fables in this large hardbound children's book: WC and TT. The texts are simplified prose versions of La Fontaine. The text pages are surrounded by animals, and in ...
Fables et Oeuvres Diverses de J. La Fontaine.
(Firmin-Didot et Cie, 1910)
Standard straightforward small-sized edition of the fables with helpful notes, followed by 120 pages of selected poems, letters, epigrams, and translations. There is a table of acknowledged sources and AI (by book and ...
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. ...
