De la Fontaine's 'Contes et Nouvelles' (often misleadingly
translated as 'Tales and Novels') are very different from his
famous fables, being saucy stories in verse, mainly drawn from
Italian sources. They were hugely popular in the seventeenth
century for their literary raciness, and quickly translated into
several languages, including English. This is a new edition (not a
scan) of a complete early translation in two volumes; it includes
nine modest black-and-white illustrations.
