La storia della Lepre et la Tartaruga e tante altre.
(Dami Editore, 1989)
Delightful pictures illustrate this kids' book. The best of them include the title page of the cat-grandma reading to the mice children, the fattened weasel getting caught in the narrow passage through which he entered ...
La Fontaine: Fables
(The Commodore Press Ltd, 1946)
This is an unusual LaFontaine for me in that it was done in French language on English soil. The year of publication offers some background for this anomaly. Saurat offers a good little introduction replete with well ...
La Fontaine's Fables Translated into English Verse
(London: Dent/NY:Dutton, 1952)
This reprint enlarges the original 1952 Everyman edition in crown octavo. The margins have grown, and the paper has improved in quality. Here is what I wrote on the 1952 edition: Dent/Dutton take over the text and preface ...
More Fables of La Fontaine
(William Heinemann Ltd., 1925)
This is a less expensive version of the signed, numbered first edition I found from John & Carole Ansley in New Zealand. This book has smaller margins and is thus perhaps .25 smaller in each dimension. It has a blue cloth ...
Fables de la Fontaine
(Éditions Albin Michel, 1947)
Here is a second first edition copy of Rapeño's work from 1947 with exactly the same numbers on the obverse of the title-page, but with a different cover. Here the cover shows the tortoise passing the negligent hare. ...
Fables de la Fontaine, 4me Série N°1
(Imagerie Pellerin à Épinal, 1954)
Here is a third version of the same work and, by all indications, the earliest. I have it as done in 1978 and 1982. Though this copy bears no date, someone has handwritten in pencil 5-8-55 135 fr. A Wetterwald. I take ...
Fables de la Fontaine, 4me Série N°2
(Imagerie Pellerin à Épinal, 1954)
Here is a second version of the same work and, by all indications, the earlier. I have it as done in 1982. (I also have the first copy of No 1 for both times, and the No 1 of a 1978 printing.) Though this copy bears no ...
La Fontaine: Fables
(Carl Winter's Universitätsbuchhandlung, 1925)
This is the edition I had first of this lovely little volume containing sixty fables, all but one (the first: GA) with a very engaging black-and-white silhouette. Some of my favorite little silhouettes include the ...
De Twee Duiven/Les Deux Pigeons: La Fontaine
(Grafische MTS, 1983)
This is a 24-page pamphlet, perhaps done as a final project for a degree in printing or design. It presents La Fontaine's Les Deux Pigeons in Dutch and then in French, each with two lovely large blockprints. Though the ...
Fables de La Fontaine
(G. Gérardin Imp - Édit., 1900)
L'Imagerie de Paris is the only further clue in this charming little pamphlet, about 5½ x 7. The booklet's cover shows the fox sitting at a tall pitcher, as in FS. It is signed Em (?) Dupuis. Inside there are twelve ...
