The most famous fabulist after Aesop, the French poet Jean de la
Fontaine published his three collections of fables in the second
half of the seventeenth century, and found that not only had he an
instant popular success on his hands; he happened to have written a
literary masterpiece as well. Though not specifically composed for
the young, these tales have a freshness and vividness which
continue to appeal to children today, while the psychological
astuteness of the author and the wit and elegance of his style will
impress adults as well. La Fontaine happily ransacked a whole range
of sources for his stories - from ancient Greek and Latin to
contemporary French and Italian - adapting, interweaving, blending,
inventing and transforming as he went. The result is a unique and
imaginative tour de force which has delighted and entertained
readers for over 300 years.
