12 Fables en Sabir Franco-Arabe et Ben-Ali à l'École, Scène Comique en Sabir
(Art et ComédieEdicom Direct S.A.. Paris, 1988)Here are twelve fables in Franco-Arabic pidgin. I am surprised at how much sense I can make out of these texts. There is a short translation of Arabic words into French on the first page. The selection here is heavy on ... -
15 Fables Célèbres Racontées en Argot, Recueil No. 1
(Jean Picot. Paris, 1947)Once again, I thought I already had this fragile stapled pamphlet of 16 pages, found thirteen years ago at Librairie de l'Avénue. It turns out that this pamphlet is not the 1998 edition that I have but rather the (original?) ... -
15 Fables Célèbres Racontées en Argot, Recueil No. 1
(Edicom Direct S.A.. Paris, 1998)Here are fifteen traditional French fables, one to a page, presented in slang. This first volume (I have a second volume, dated 1988) contains some perennial favorites from La Fontaine: TH, GA, WL, OF, FG, and AD. Others ... -

(Editions Jean Picot. Paris, 1947)Previously, I had found several booklets with connections to this one, including a copy of the 1947 Volume I and the 1988 reprint of this Volume II of fables in slang. I am delighted now to have found the original of ... -
15 Fables Célèbres Racontées en Argot, Recueil No. 2
(Edicom Direct S.A.. Paris, 1988)Here is Volume II of fables in slang. I notice several curiosities. First, this was published in 1988, while my copy of Volume I was published in 1998. This volume has a larger format (about 7½ x 11). Though the publisher ... -
Fables Choisies
(Imprimerie Gordinne. Liège, Belgium, 1937)I have a number of books from Gordinne. This may have the broadest inclusion of various styles. Like several other Gordinne volumes, it frequently puts a picture frame around the text of a fable. Like #3149, it includes ... -
Fables Choisies de la Fontaine et Florian
(Imprimerie Gordinne. Liège, BelgiumLiége, Belgique, 1946)Large-format children's book containing twenty-five fables. The book is reminiscent of two I have listed under 1936?, which were also produced in Belgium. Like those, this book combines eight colored full-page illustrations ... -
Fables Choisies de la Fontaine et Florian
(Collection Paul Duval. Paris, 1946)I would naturally think that this large-format children's book is identical with another slightly larger in size with the same cover and title-page from Imprimerie Gordinne in Belgium, for which I have also guessed at a ... -
Fables Choisies de la Fontaine et Florian (Cover: Fables de la Fontaine)
(Imprimerie Gordinne. Liège, Belgium, 1937)This large-format, canvas-bound book starts out being identical with another with the same titles on front cover and title-page and from the same publisher and the same year, bought at Henry Veyrier in December of 2004; ... -
Fables Choisies de la Fontaine et Florian (Cover: Fables de la Fontaine)
(Imprimerie Gordinne. Liège, Belgium, 1937)This large-format, canvas-bound book is perhaps closest to a Gordinne publication I have listed under 1946? Like that book, this publication combines full-page illustrations that are full-colored (there are ten here) with ... -
Fables de La Fontaine et de Florian
(Librairie Garnier Frères. Paris, 1947)Here is an extra copy of this book, with a weakening spine and some coloring on its first black-and-white image. As I wrote of the good copy, it has pictorial boards, including a cover of a dismayed MM, surrounded by ... -

Les Fables en Action
(Librairie de l'Enfance et de la Jeunesse P.-C. Lehuby. Paris, 1836)A lively introduction agrees with Rousseau that it is a mistake to offer children fables that are beyond them. The key thing to interest children is action. The author admits that there are few La Fontaine fables that ... -
