Les Fables de la Fontaine
(API Limited, 1992)
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 the illustrations the main characters ...
Fables de la Fontaine
(Gautier-LangereauGautier-Languereau, 1968)
A 20-page children's book of intermediate size (7½ x 6) with stiff covers. The four fables enclosed are pictured on the endpapers: FC, OF, Le Heron, and TH. As far as I can tell, this little edition does not coincide--or ...
Promenade au Jardin des Fables
(Braun & Cie/Berger-LevraultBraun Berger-Levrault,, 1923)
One of the heavier and more pretentious books in the collection. The book seems to me to represent a kind of printer's dream, drawing in all sorts of illustrations. I have listed Berger-Levrault as a publisher, but they ...
The Fables of La Fontaine
(H.M. Caldwell Co., 1881)
This handy-sized edition of the Wright translation of LaFontaine with frontispiece of La Fontaine and three illustrations has a curious place in the history of Wright editions. Apparently it reproduces the preface and ...
Fables de La Fontaine: Cent Fables Choisies
(Librairie Renouard, 1932)
Here is a second hardbound copy of one of the most beautiful books in the collection, and in very good condition. Apparently unknown to standard bibliographers like Quinnam, Hobbs, and Bassy, it is in my favorite private ...
Fifty More Fables of La Fontaine
(University of Illinois Press, 1998)
I like this book. The translations are lively, informed, occasionally arch. There are good notes at the back. Illustrations appear for perhaps half of the fifty fables, and they are frequently pairs of illustrations ...

Fables de La Fontaine
(Hachette, 1921)
Bodemann describes the book very well (#409) and lists it as ca. 1921. I find no date indicated in this book, but I have no doubt that this is the first edition of a book I have loved for a long time, first through Whitman's ...
Fables de La Fontaine I
(Marcus, 1958)
This book makes a selection of fables from Lorioux' larger-format and larger-volume book of the same title by the same publisher in 1949. Here he handles six fables, with a single dramatic colored image for each. In three ...
Douze Fables de la Fontaine (cover: Fables de la Fontaine)
(Editions Etranco, 1950)
I am tempted to date this book ten years earlier because of the French-German connection of a French publisher printing books in Germany. The cover presents an engaging image of smiling animals grouped around King Lion. ...
