Jean de la Fontaine: Fables Choisies
(Éditions de l'Agora SA, 1981)
The most notable features of this book are its superb binding and the fact that it was printed in Quebec. There are both an AI and a T of C at the back. Since the arrangement of La Fontaine's original is kept, one can ...
Le Corbeau et le Renard et autres Fables [Cover: Jean de La Fontaine: Fables]
(Gallimard jeunesse, 1995)
Fiona was good enough to substitute this book when I had bid upon and won a video tape in SECAM format not playable on American video players. Though the in-book illustrations are from Doré, the cover illustrations come ...
Doré's Illustrations for the Fables of La Fontaine
(Dover Publications, 2003)
Here are all eighty-four full-page plates and thirty-nine of the vignettes from Hachette's original Fables de la Fontaine avec les Dessins de Gustave Dore of 1868. This is a typically well-prepared Dover edition. The ...
Jean de la Fontaine: 60 Fabels
(B.V. Uitgeversbedrijf het Goede Boek, 1980)
This is a standard book of Doré's illustrations to La Fontaine, very similar to books I have in French, English, and German. Large format, 126 pages. I was happy to find a new fable book in my first afternoon in Holland. ...
Fables de la Fontaine
(Edita, 1994)
This is a heavy large-format book of 383 pages. There is no T of C or AI. The unusual feature of this presentation of Doré's illustrations is that all are colored, both the smaller title-illustrations and the full-page ...
Fables de La Fontaine
(Prosveta, 1989)
A beautiful huge book found at one of my first stops in an all-day Montreal bookstore tour. The closest parallel is the Chartwell/Ebeling Fables of La Fontaine of 1982. See my comments there. The two books are the same ...
Jean de La Fontaine: Die Fabeln
(Emil Vollmer Verlag, 1975)
A beautiful book very similar in format to the Jupiter edition of 1975. Like it, this edition is bilingual and uses background color to set off the original text and Doré's small illustrations. This book is more complete ...
Jean de La Fontaine: The Fables
(Jupiter Books, 1975)
Offhand, I do not think the abundant Doré illustrations quite match those in the Chartwell edition (1982), perhaps especially because of the paper used here. An excellent bilingual presentation, always with Doré's small ...
Jean de La Fontaine: The Fables
(Bloomsbury Books, 1975)
Almost identical with the earlier Jupiter edition, except that this one has a dust jacket and uses better, thinner paper. The Doré illustrations thus come off the page better. The book's producers also make sure that the ...
Fables of La Fontaine
(Chartwell Books, 1982)
Doré's illustrations were done in 1868 with a translation from the French by Thornbury. A beautiful book. AI at the back. The full-page illustrations are really grand. Only a few of them make the kind of shift I enjoy ...
