La Fontaine: Fabeln
(Editions Novos S.A., 1947)
Here is the German version of a 1945 French book, also published by Editions Novos S.A. in Lausanne. It is twelve years since I found the French original. As I wrote then, this is a large softbound volume, 9½ x 10½, ...
Le favole di La Fontaine
(I.G.O. Editore SRL, 1990)
Reduced from 36000 Lire! One more big book of fables with mostly undistinguished, cute, harmless art! About 1/3 of the fables have full-page illustrations. A typical one (91) shows a not very ferocious wolf dressed up ...

Fables de La Fontaine
(Ernest Flammarion, 1933)
See my comments on the earlier printing. This book differs in not having the red-and-blue pictorial end-papers that that earlier edition has. It rearranges the front pages slightly and includes more books illustrated by ...

(Viking Press, 1954)
A lovely book, without illustrations, with an index of titles and first lines in both English and French. I would like to keep coming back to this book. Most of LaFontaine I find on the longish side, and so I find many ...
La Fontaine: Fables Choisies II.
(Larousse, 1954)
A typical pamphlet for French secondary students. There are no illustrations except for the frontispiece. Does not contain all the fables of the first six books. Did Larousse start with these pamphlets (perhaps after ...
A Hundred Fables of LaFontaine (American Edition)
(John Lane The Bodley Head, 1900)
Before placing a bid on this book, I checked but found no record of my having a first edition. Soon after I placed the bid, I found the record. I felt bad since then--until I just checked the book out against the book I ...
