Les Fables de La Fontaine: Gravures sur Bois
(Les Editions d'Art Les Heures Claires, 1966)

Le loup et l'agneau et onze autres fables
(lutin poche de l'ecole des loisirs, 1979)
This pamphlet of 48 pages reprints twelve of Boutet de Monvel's original illustrations of 26 fables. The original landscape book has been here transformed into a portrait, and a hardbound book has become paperbound. The ...
Fables de La fontaine selon M. de Renusson
(Éditions solo ma non troppo, 2018)
This little unpaginated booklet of 32 pages is one of the most delightful finds of a summer visit to Paris. Apparently Georges de Renusson (1916-1991) was a maker of models for a maritime museum in Paris. A really gifted ...
Les Fables de La Fontaine

Les Fables de La Fontaine
(Editions Michel Lafon, 2018)

Le Rat de ville et le Rat des champs
(Auzou, 2018)
Here is a colorful and lively presentation of La Fontaine's fable. The cover presents the two mice in the country, with the city's outline in the distance. I struggled to decipher which mouse is which. The city mouse, ...
Le Renard et le Cigogne
(Auzou, 2018)
The simple illustration on the title-page presents the contrast wonderfully that lies at the basis of this fable: tall vase versus shallow soup-dish on a lovely bit of table cloth, with a few sprigs of garnish. One great ...
Le lièvre et la tortue
(Éditions Lito, 2016)
This simple pamphlet does a good job of emphasizing La Fontaine's point that the hare dawdles to make it a race worthy of him. In a key scene, we find the hare resting or stretching next to a tree with an insect on his ...
