About the book

Jean de La Fontaine's fables retell and reinvent stories drawn from Aesop, classical literature and European folklore. Talking animals, farmers, kings and tricksters become vehicles for concise observations about vanity, power, greed, friendship, prudence and human folly. Elegant, witty and often ironic, the fables are among the defining works of seventeenth-century French literature and have influenced generations of writers and illustrators.
