Fables in Rhyme for Little Folks Adapted from the French of La Fontaine.
(Wise Book Co., 1918)
A nice Volland reprint. Unfortunately the pictures often do not come out clearly. The printers seem to have had trouble with color separation and the exact matching of separate color impressions. One gets an impression ...
Fables of La Fontaine
(Derby & Jackson, 1860)
One of the loveliest books I have. The leather, the gilding, and especially the illustrations are first-class. AI on xli (facing a great engraving of the animals at LaFontaine's tomb). Lovely title pages. Unfortunately ...
Fables de La Fontaine Illustrées.
(A. Mame et CompanieTours, 1852)
A complete little edition, with lots of simple engravings. Juno on 82 is scratched out: was someone saving the purity of the Capuchins? The book was owned by two of their monasteries. Inscribed: 1852? T of C at the ...
Un Petit Bréviaire de la Sagesse: Fables de la Fontaine
(Eugène Figuière & Cie, 1920)
The excellent small illustrations caught my eye in this lovely little book, starting with the detail of GA on the cover: a dog faces a cold young woman with long blond hair and a guitar strung over her back. The fuller ...
The Fables of La Fontaine
(Viking Press, 1954)
A huge and lovely book, without illustrations, with an index of titles and first lines in both English and French. I would like to keep coming back to this book. Most of LaFontaine I find on the longish side, and so I ...
The Best Fables of La Fontaine
(University Press of Virginia, 1965)
The translations seem to be well done--rhymed and colloquial enough. I am not sure where the best of the title comes in; the collection looks complete. The illustrations are few and primitive.
Fables de J. de la Fontaine
(Librarie de S.R. UrbinoS.R. Urbino, Libraire, 1870)
A handy little volume of the complete fables. Very good paper. The engravings are nicely done--but most lack sparkle. The best are of the monkey and dolphin (120) and of the miser's hole (135). Identical with the 1875 ...
The Fables of La Fontaine Vol 1
(Cassel & company limited,Cassell, 1875)
Excellent reprints of fifty of Jean Baptiste Oudry's etchings per volume. Thornbury seems complete, but his translation does not contain books and it changes LaFontaine's order slightly.
The Fables of La Fontaine Vol 2
(Cassell, 1875)
Excellent reprints of fifty of Jean Baptiste Oudry's etchings per volume. Thornbury seems complete, but his translation does not contain books and it changes LaFontaine's order slightly.
Fables de la Fontaine N°2
(Imagerie Pellerin, 1982)
This lovely little stapled booklet of 32 pages seems identical with another that I have except that this copy features an image of the wolf and the goat in the well on its cover, whereas that copy has GA in human fashion ...
