Neuf Fables de la Fontaine
(Club du Livre Sélectionné, 1959)
I checked quickly to make sure that I did not already have a copy of this booklet of 36 unstapled pages. I found that I have another in the same series, dated 1957. As I wrote then, the frontispiece has room to dedicate ...
Neuf Fables de la Fontaine
(Club du Livre Sélectionné, 1959)
I enjoy this work. The cover and frontispiece of this unstapled pamphlet show La Fontaine extending out from an oval portrait and offering a book of fables. The frontispiece notes that this copy was printed for Monsieur ...
Fables de La Fontaine, Tome II
(H. Fournier Ainé, 1839)
I have a copy of this two-volume work in poorer shape. I add this second copy for two reasons. First, it is in good condition, better condition than that pair of volumes. Secondly, I celebrate the triumph of finding ...

Aesop's Fables
(Cassell, Petter, and Galpin, 1869)
This copy with a white cover joins two with green and blue covers, respectively. It has two remarkable features. First, it is inscribed in 1869. That fact makes it perhaps the clearest candidate for a first edition; I ...
Fables de La Fontaine
(H. Fournier Ainé, 1838)
When I noticed that this 1838 edition was up for under $80 for the two volumes, I thought I would take a chance. I got lucky! Getting it has given me a chance to compare -- again -- the 1838 Grandvilles that I have. I ...
Les Fables de La Fontaine pour Bébé
(Théodore Lefèvre et Cie., 1886)
This book is almost identical with a copy I first bought from Abbey Antiquarian in 2000. Now, I have found two other copies, and they have small but fascinating differences. This volume, like the Abbey copy, has the name ...

Fables de La Fontaine, Tome Premier
(Belin-Le-Prieur, 1807)
We have only this first volume, as Bodemann had only the first volume. The seller hoped for a publishing date of 1743, but that date is taken from the "Avertissement." That is indeed when Coste published his first ...
Fables Choisies Mise en Vers par Monsieur La Fontaine
(Les Libraires Associées, 1778)
Here is a charming 18th century La Fontaine with designs at the beginning of each of the twelve books and a lovely frontispiece of Aesop, La Fontaine, Fable, and Truth. In fact, I find the model for this frontispiece in ...
