La Fontaine: Fables, Tome II

Fables de la Fontaine
(Éditions G. P., 1950)
I have two later booklets depicting La Fontaine's fables by Sabran, both in La Bibliothèque Rouge et Bleue from this same publisher. I like Sabran's work! Here there is some overlap in the twelve fables illustrated in ...

Fables: Jean de la Fontaine (Fox and Crow cover)
