Earlier I had been given this 1948 reprint of this Budé text in two volumes. I am delighted now to find the original. The special feature of this pair of volumes is that, as the cover of this first volume shows, the pair ...
Les fables de la Fontaine
(Editrice La Lucciola: Picciola, 1992)
Last night I catalogued a large French book of La Fontaine's fables and opined that it may have had an Italian source. This morning I happened to be looking over a big box of uncatalogued books and noticed a large La ...

Fables de la Fontaine: Livre II
(Hachette, 1935)

Fables de La Fontaine
(G. Loewensohn, 1935)
Done in Germany in French and sold across from the British Museum! An unusual format urges kids to color in the line-drawings next to the eight colored pictures! Though simple, these are nice--including the lively cover. ...
The Aesop for Children

A red covered book with 103 fables on eighty pages. Alternating pairs of pages are done in color and black-and-white. The principle of selection of the original edition's fables is not easy for me to grasp, and those ...
Aesop's Fables
