Fables de La Fontaine
(Editions Touret, 1975)
This French edition, which does not acknowledge its artist, uses the same plates that can be found in two Italian editions of La Fontaine listed under 1960/76 and 1960/80, both by AMZ. There are, however, only eleven ...
La Fontaine: 20 Fables
(Jaspard Polus & Cie.,, 1961)
Here is a treasure! I was able to get it only because there is one illustration missing from Brayer. As I recall, the book dealer was eager to be rid of the grief he had had with it. Let me include some of the bookseller's ...
Le Lièvre et la Tortue
(Hachette, 1976)
This book, about 7 x 8½, contains three fables of La Fontaine. It may be the twelfth book I have with Simon illustrations. At his nap, the rabbit of TH has a pipe and newspaper. He even juggles fruit along the way. The ...
Fables de La Fontaine
(Éditions Phidal Inc., 1995)

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 ...
Oeuvres Complètes de Jean de La Fontaine
(Chez Firmin Didot Frères, Fils et Cie, Libraires, 1857)
Here is a heavy 684-page tome that seems to have all of La Fontaine's works, starting with the fables. It is larger than my 1854 Fables et Oeuvres Diverses de J. La Fontaine by the same editor and from the same publisher. ...
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 ...
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 ...
Les Fables de La Fontaine: Tome 1
(Éditions Ada Inc., 2009)
Here is a heavy book offering on some 320 pages half of La Fontaine's fables, each with a full-page colored illustration. An AI at the beginning is also a T of C. I am trying to order Volume 2; this first volume presents ...
