La Fontaine: The Wolf, the Goat and the Kid and the Fox and the Squirrel
(Litor Publishers Ltd., 1985)
This little children's book of 7 x 7½ has simple illustrations. My prize goes to the kid's view of the wolf's eye through the peephole. The second fable has a lovely turn when it says that Aesop has stories that show ...

This little children's book of 7 x 7½ has very simple illustrations with an emphasis on lots of strong facial expressions. The versions of the two fables here are faithful to La Fontaine; FC is as faithful as I have ever ...
Jean de La Fontaine: Bajky
(Statni Nakladatelstvi Krasne Literatury, Hudby a UmeniStátni Nakladatelství krásné literatury a umění, 1959)
This book represents a serious undertaking. It is a nicely bound, sturdy, large book, complete with a place-marking ribbon. It covers apparently the whole corpus of La Fontaine's fables. The large, bold black-and-white ...
Fables de J. de la Fontaine: Edition Miniature
(Fonderie Laurent et DebernyFonderie Typographique, 1850)
This must be the smallest full edition of La Fontaine's fables that I have. It measures a little under 2 x 3. At that size, it takes 250 pages and a magnifying glass to cover the fables and a two-page T of C at the end.
Fables de La Fontaine
(Fratelli Fabbri Editori, 1964)
See my version dated 1965 and otherwise almost identical. They share a 1962 copyright by O.D.E.J., Paris. As I write there, this is a large-format children's book, now the third distinct set of work I have by Cremonini ...

Fables de Lafontaine: Imagerie d'Épinal
(Imagerie d'Épinal Pellerin & Cie,Pellerin & Companie, 1850)
The helpful person at Roe and Moore convinced me that this is a hand-colored Épinal from before the age of chromolithography. Its seven images are breathtaking! I recognize two from having them on Épinal plates. Thus I ...

Bodemann 410. Limited edition of 1965 copies. The woodcuts are done in tans, browns, and blacks (Bodemann here speaks of yellows). The full-page frontispiece in this second volume shows an assembly of monkeys. Good ...
La Fonten Masallari
(Dost Kitaplar, 1983)
Here among many paperbacks from Turkey is a hardbound book with a dj. In fact, it could not easily be identified without the dj, since its cover and spine are unmarked white heavy paper. The cover has several colored ...
