English Translation: " Selected Fables Put Into Verse By M. De La Fontaine"

"Jean de La Fontaine (1621 - 1695) was a French fabulist and one of the most widely read French poets of the 17th century. He collected fables from a wide variety of sources, both Western and Eastern, and adapted them into French free verse. They were issued under the general title of Fables in several volumes from 1668 to 1694 and are considered classics of French literature. Humorous, nuanced and ironical, they were originally aimed at adults but then entered the educational system and were required learning for school children. "
