Jean de la Fontaine: Fables
(Bookking International, 1993)
Here is an extra copy of this book. This is one of the few editions of La Fontaine's fables which I have that does not add some notes. There is a two-page life at the beginning and an AI at the back. The French will, ...
Fables de La Fontaine Illustrées
(Chez Delarue, Libraire, 1848)
"This book looked very familiar, but it did not seem to line up well with the one book I have of La Fontaine from Delarue. I noticed on the last page that it was printed by Mame in Tours. I checked, and Mame in Tours did ...
Fables Inédites des XIIe, XIIIe et XIVe Siècles et Fables de la Fontaine
(Etienne Cabin, 1825)
I already have a copy of this book. This second copy differs in one essential respect: It adds a name under La Fontaine's picture in the frontispiece! How curious! It differs in other respects, too. It has no slipsheet ...
La Fontaine: Fables, Tome II
(Libraire-Editeur Papyria Soc. An., 1946)
Here is a major triumph and a major stroke of luck. Earlier this year, I catalogued Volume I of this two-volume edition and mentioned that it set me on a search for the other volume. How lucky I am to have found it on ...
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 de la Fontaine
(Ernest FlammarionFlammarion-Jeunesse, 1961)
This book is memorable for me first of all because there was a mix-up over shipment of it. I received another, rather commonplace La Fontaine edition, and Ms. Kerby and I feared that this book might have been lost or ...
The Lion Grown Old
(Litor Publishers, 1960)
This sixteen-page pamphlet about 7 x 7½ has lively illustrations inside covers that show a good deal of wear. From the title-page on, the lion has a pince-nez that is slipping off of his nose. He acquires bandages on his ...
The Complete Fables of La Fontaine: A New Translation in Verse
(Arcade PublishingDistributed by Hachette Book Group, 2008)
It is unusual to find a complete La Fontaine. The list in English includes, I believe, only Thomson, Wright, Thornbury, Moore, Spector, and Schapiro. This translation is curious because it took the author some fifty years ...
Five Fables of La Fontaine
(Grolier Society, 1967)
Surprise! When I bought this, I thought it was the 1967 Grolier edition that I already have, The Fox and the Stork And Other La Fontaine Fables, with its illustrations by Boutet de Monvel. Of course, when I found that ...
La Fontaine: Fables. (Outside title: la Tortue et les deux canards: Fables de La Fontaine)
(Librairie de HachetteLibrarie Hachette, 1967)
Three fables are announced on the title-page of this kids' book: the title story, MM, and Le Renard et le Bouc. The first two are switched in order. The La Fontaine text is unchanged. As with all of Simon's work, the ...
