Fables de la Fontaine dédiées a la Jeunesse, Tome II
(Chez Le Prieur, 1801)

Fables de la Fontaine dédiées a la Jeunesse
(Chez Gerard Fischer le CadetChez Gerard Fleischer le Cadet, 1802)

Fables Choisies, Mises en Vers par Monsieur de La Fontaine
(Chez Humblot, 1757)
This is a lovely little book, the earliest Coste edition I have. It is certainly in the family of Bodemann #121. The date matches with #121.2, but the editor there is Prault fils aîné, whereas here it is Humblot. The ...
Fables Choisies, mises en vers par M de la Fontaine
(Chez Veuve Douladoure, 1793)
A lovely old book, rebound, with one small rural scene on 1 and notes at the bottom of almost every page. The pages are rough at their edges and non-uniform in size. I think the salesperson was just telling me that they ...

Fables Choisies, mises en vers par M de la Fontaine

This long-lived little volume comes as a gift from old collector friends. It includes the first seven books of La Fontaine's fables in addition to the usual introductory material. It is very close, for these seven books, ...
