Once Again, La Fontaine: Sixty More Fables
(Wesleyan University Press: University Press of New England, 2000)
Shapiro and Schorr are at it again! This marks their third book together on La Fontaine. It is, I believe, another triumph. The translations are crisp. I enjoyed, for example, The Charlatan (115). I am surprised at ...
Jean de La Fontaine: Fables
(Alfred A. Knopf, 2001)
By chance I passed by Olsson's in Bethesda between visits to used book stores, and I found this lovely recent book. It combines the excellent work of de la Nézière, both in color and in black-and-white, with the good verse ...
LaFontaine: Fables choisies pour les enfants
(Lutin Pochel'École des loisirs, 2007)
Here is a very nicely made smaller paperback version of the 1871 original. This book refers to a 1980 copyright held by L'École des Loisirs in Paris. Lutin Poche is a part of that firm. Let me repeat from the original ...
Les plus belles Fables de La Fontaine et autres auteurs célèbres
(Les Éditions PoP Jeunesse, 2007)
Here is a glossy, puffy-covered, colorful book of fables. It has no title-page and no pagination. There is an AI at the end, but without page-numbers that becomes a list of fables in order. There are fifty-five fables. ...
Zayann II: Fables de La Fontaine et d'Esope Français/Créoles
(PLB Éditions, 2002)
This book apparently follows upon Zayann, a collection of La Fontaine's fables in French and Creole produced by PLB in Guadeloupe. This second volume follows up with twenty-one more La Fontaine fables, each facing a Créole ...
Les Fables de La Fontaine
(Les Éditions Cumulus: Éditions Total Publishing, 2003)
This soft-covered book made with heavy paper is very large, over 11 x 14½. FC and TH appear on the cover. The illustrations themselves have a largeness to them. Sometimes texts are framed by vines within large two-page ...
Mon Beau Livre de Fables
(Éditions Hemma, 2004)
This is the fifth book I have found illustrated by Dosimont, all apparently done from the same set of illustrations and all published by Hemma. The illustrations are perhaps here at their sharpest in this flexibly bound ...
Les Fables de La Fontaine pour réfléchir
(Oskar Jeunesse: Éditions Oskarson, 2010)
This is a fine book! It works from thirteen of La Fontaine's best known fables. For each there is a four-page spread, as is indicated in the T of C on 5. The first pair of pages presents La Fontaine's text and a humorous ...
La Fontaine aux fables: Trente-six fables de La Fontaine interprétées en bande dessinée: Texte Intégral
(Guy Delcourt Productions, 2010)
This volume puts together the three separate volumes published in 2002, 2004, and 2006, each containing twelve fables. As I mentioned there, this is a high-class volume of comics. The curious endpapers of the first two ...
Les Fables de La Fontaine
(Dupuis, 2010)
René Hausman is a celebrated illustrator of comic books in Belgium and France. Here is his La Fontaine, and it is wonderful! In image and after image, I found myself saying either He has it right! or I have not thought ...
