Fifty Fables of La Fontaine
(University of Illinois Press, 1988)
I have copies of both the hardbound and paperbound editions of this book. This copy seems rather to be a review copy, sent to the writer or to reviewers. All three editions seem to have the same pagination and illustrations. ...
Les Fables de La Fontaine
(Dargaud S.A. Éditeur, 1946)
I have a nearly identical copy of this favorite, bought from Librairie de l'avenue Henry Veyrier in 2001. The present copy is marked by a red title printed on the cloth cover, as against the gold title embossed into the ...
La Fontaine: Fabeln
(Editions Novos S.A., 1947)

Cent Fables de La Fontaine
(Omnibus, 2004)
This is a fascinating concept. Each of the hundred fables presented here includes La Fontaine's text, presented with a bowed margin. Each also includes at least one black-and-white photograph, the kind one can often ...
The Fables of La Fontaine
(Kessinger Publishing, 2004)
This volume is symptomatic of where book publishing is going these days. This 7½ x 9¼ paperback book of 432 pages reproduces the texts of Wright's edition of 1881 in good, accessible form. It does so without a single ...
Fables de La Fontaine
(Editions MolièreÉditions Molière, 2005)

Après vous, M de La Fontaine . . . Contrefables
(Hachette Jeunesse, 2006)
The author writes in the Avant-Propos: Par une suite en forme d'hommage, j'ai voulu, aujourd'hui, rendre justice aux victimes d'une tradition quelque peu contestable. Corbeaux, cigales, agneaux, belettes et petits lapins, ...
