Fables de La Fontaine
(Flammarion, 1952)
A beautiful oversize book with good monochrome and eight excellent full-page polychrome illustrations. The best of the monochrome illustrations are The Coach and the Fly (70) and The Deer and the Vine (109). The ...
La Fontaine: Fables
(Librairie Hachette, 1958)
A lively and well used children's book. Seventy-eight fables in LaFontaine's original verse, with an AI at the back. The illustrator puts the ass on top of the poles (53)! The best of the fifteen colored illustrations ...
Fables of La Fontaine
(Golden Pleasure Books, 1962)
Excellent runs on the ten colored illustrations of Trnka, which also appear in the 1974 and 1974/85 editions by Grund and Exeter. The best of these is the cover featuring the wolf as shepherd. There are good black-and-white ...
Fables de La Fontaine en Images Lumineuses
(Albums du Père Castor: Flammarion, Éditeur, 1935)
There are here six silhouette images of fable scenes from La Fontaine. Apparently, another six are missing, perhaps from the stapled center of this pamphlet. The full list of twelve fables appears on the bottom of the ...
Fables de la Fontaine N°1
(Imagerie Pellerin, 1982)
This book seems to reproduce, with several changes, a similar edition dated 1978. This book lacks any reference to Hachette and Série Verte. Like that volume, it offers seventeen well-chosen fables of La Fontaine. As I ...

(Imagerie Pellerin, 1982)
Here is the second volume accompanying a similar Pellerin reprint from the same year. Again two black-and-white illustrations bracket fifteen full-page colored illustrations. TH (14) is not only one of the liveliest ...
La Fontaine: Le laboureur et ses enfants, Le pot de terre et le pot de fer
(Editions Lito-Paris, 1981)
Here is one of a series of some eighteen pamphlets. I am surprised at the title Fabliaux since the titles listed on the last page are all fables. At any rate, my work as a collector is cut out for me! This first find ...
The Hare and the Tortoise: Fable by Jean de la Fontaine
(Mulder & Zoon, 1955)
Here is a parallel to a number of books I have in both English and Dutch. All come from the same publisher and use the same artist. I have listed them all under 1955? The booklets build off of a fascinating concept: a ...
The Raven and the Fox: Fable by Jean de la Fontaine
(Mulder & Zoon, 1955)
Here is the English version of a booklet I already have in French from the same publisher and artist and similarly listed under 1955? Like the other books in this series, this book builds off of a fascinating concept: a ...
Le Songe d'un Habitant du Mogol & autres fables de la Fontaine
(Réunion des Musées nationaux, Imprimerie nationale, 1989)
This is a delightful large-format book of some 192 pages featuring the fifty-nine miniatures painted by Imam Bakhsh at the court of Lahore from 1837 on. As far as I can understand, these miniatures are now preserved at ...
