Signed limited edition of Jean de La Fontaine's classic fables. Royal octavo, two volumes, bound in full vellum with gilt titles to the spine, tissue-guarded title page vignette, genuine deckled edges, silk ribbon bound in, illustrated with 26 engravings on copper. Boldly signed by translator Edward Marsh and illustrator Stephen Gooden on the colophon page facing the title page. One of 525 numbered copies, this is number 246. In very good condition. Translated into English verse by Edward Marsh. Illustrated by Stephen Gooden. The Fables of Jean de La Fontaine represent a pinnacle of 17th-century French literature, blending classical influences with sharp social commentary. Drawing inspiration from Aesop, Phaedrus, and Eastern traditions, La Fontaine crafted fables that were formally elegant, morally instructive, and richly allegorical. First published in multiple volumes between 1668 and 1694, the fables use animals and rural settings to satirize the court, critique human folly, and subtly question the power structures of Louis XIVâs absolutist regime. Their stylistic refinement, vivid characterizations, and rhythmic verse made them not only a cornerstone of French literary education but also a touchstone for Enlightenment thinkers who admired their wit and ethical nuance.

A small archive of material relating to the translation into English and production in the UK and USA of works by Jean Anouilh (particularly "Dinner with the Family"), comprising: A. Two Autograph Letters Signed "Jean Anouilh", in French, to Edward Marsh, translator and biographer of Anouilh, one dated in pencil "Feb. 1953", one of two pages, the other of one, both 4to, condition only fair. As far as I can tell, the contents are as follows: (Ist letter) Anouilh agrees to a performance of "Rendezvous a Senlis" at Polson's Theatre, subject to Marsh's assurances("artistiquement"), adding the wish (?) that van Loewen and "son patron" Curtis Brown, agents, will arrange a West End appearance. He states his financial terms. He awaits concluding detail of the contract, and wishes him luck, adding a postscript that he would be "heureux de lire la traduction"; (2nd letter, 2pp., Feb. 1953) He appreciates so much effort on his behalf (on "Rendezvous?), particularly when he feels "demodé déja, du moins par le capricieux Paris". He hopes his efforts are rewarded. He goes on to discuss the production of "le voyageur" (prob."Le Voyageur sans bagage"), discussing Van Lowen the agent and invoking the names of Peter Brook, distinguished director, and John Gielgud. Further discussion of "Rendezvous" (contract, the "fidelité" of an English translation, etc). He suggests that Marsh try the BBC for a production of "voyageur"; B.

Five items concerning Zeke Berlin's production of "Dinner with the Family", 1959-60 (permissions, discussion, and planning for performance in New York), including detailed letters from Berlin; H.
