Jean de La Fontaine: Die Fabeln
(Emil Vollmer Verlag, 1975)
Here is an extra copy. A beautiful book very similar in format to the Jupiter edition of 1975. Like it, this edition is bilingual and uses background color to set off the original text and Doré's small illustrations. ...
Fables de La Fontaine
(Jules Tallandier, 1906)
Here is a second copy of this magnificent book! I keep it in the collection because both copies have seen extensive wear. This copy is better externally and the original copy from Bookhouse, Arlington, VA, in 1991 is ...
Fables de La Fontaine
(Editions Fleurus, 1993)
Here is a second copy of this book. A lovely book of nineteen fables presented with liveliness and ingenuity, starting with the engaging image of La Fontaine leaning out from his framed picture on the title page. The ...
Fablio the Magician: The Wolf and the Dog, Adapted from La Fontaine's Fable
(R.L. Cavallere Ltd., Londondistributed by David Gold & Son (Holdings) Ltd., 1969)
Here is an English version of original French work. I now have five of six books in the English series, three in the French, and one in the German. As I mentioned of the parallel German edition, Lobo the wolf lives in a ...

Fables in Rhyme for Little Folks.
(P.F. Volland, 1918)
Apparently a first edition. See my later editions under 1918/24? This book lacks a dedication page, has a weak spine that has been taped together, and shows smudges and wear on some pages. Still, I have worked my way ...
Fables de La Fontaine 1
(Jules Tallandier, 1906)
At last a comprehensive reproduction of Rabier's La Fontaine! Rabier had followed LaFontaine's order more or less. This book follows Rabier's original strictly except for one section where three fables from Book I (The ...
Fables de La Fontaine 2
(Jules Tallandier, 1906)
See my comments on Volume 1. This volume takes TH and The Carter Stuck in the Mud from their place in Book VI and inserts them at its beginning, apparently in order to let the cover illustrate the first story inside the ...
Fables de La Fontaine 4
(Jules Tallandier, 1906)
See my comments on Volume 1. This volume begins with OF, for which the cover provides an illustration. Whence comes this illustration, since it is not from either the cover or the illustrations in the 1906 edition? Along ...
Fables de La Fontaine 3
(Jules Tallandier, 1906)
See my comments on Volume 1. This volume switches the order of Le Coche et la Mouche and MM so as to present the latter, its cover picture, first. For its last fable, it imports Le Loup et le Renard from Book XI. I am ...
