La Fontaine: Fables Choisies
(Librairie Hachette, 1935)
This otherwise typical Hachette pamphlet is unusual in that it is a single volume. It contains four illustrations from Chauveau to go along with its fifty-one fables. Its special contribution might lie in the questions ...
6 Fables de Jean de La Fontaine
(Editions Marcel Besson, 1943)
This is a quarto card folder with illustrated paper covers. It contains six double-folded blue pages with a title on the front of each page. The center pages have text and full-page colored illustrations, with more text ...
Forty-Two Fables of La Fontaine
(Harper and Brothers, 1925)
This book is interiorly identical with another, bought in Santa Fe. It has a slightly smaller format, no label on its front cover, and lighter green cloth for its covers. As I mention of that other first U.S. edition, ...
The Fables of La Fontaine
(Viking Press, 1954)
Here is a copy of the second printing -- in dust-jacket -- of this huge and 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 ...
Fábulas de la Fontaine
(Queromón Editores, S.A., 1965)
Here is the Spanish version that fits with those in Czech (1974) and English (1962) and partially with the larger versions with eighty-three fables in English (1985) and French (1974 and 1974/96). This version has only ...
Las Mejores Fabulos de Todos los Tiempos: Esopo, Fedro, La Fontaine, Iriarte, Samaniego
(Producción Editorial Dante, S.A., 1988)
Here is a standard inexpensive paperback fable edition. I find both the title and the selections curious. The title surely claims a great deal in its phrase de Todos los Tiempos! Five fabulists cover all ages! The ...
Dame Cigale et Dame Fourmi
(Kenworthy Educational Service, 1970)
This book is exactly identical with the pamphlet version of the same year, title, and publisher. I do not know whether the Perma-Bound hard cover comes from the publisher or perhaps from some librarian. In any case, the ...
Der Rabe: Fabeln von Jean de La Fontaine
(Meisinger Verlag, 1989)
I am delighted to see this second installment of Eva Hülsmann's work. See her first volume for Meisinger in 1987. It put Der Hahn before the title on the cover but not on the title-page. This one adds Der Rabe in both ...
Fables de La Fontaine avec Les Commentaires de Coste, Tome Second
(Chez Billois, 1810)
Here is a second copy of a book already in the collection which belonged formerly to the Kensington Public Library. This copy has superior leather covers and binding but lacks two of the engravings found in the other copy. ...
La Fontaine: Fables Choisies
(Les Éditions de la Nouvelle France, 1946)
This book got me in touch with Mike, who works as a volunteer selling old books for charity. Sometimes he notices books that could draw more and puts them on Ebay. I got lucky! There are forty-seven of La Fontaine's ...
