Abstract
Seventy fables grouped effectively around themes of artistry, social groups, and seventeenth century ideas. The selection was made explicitly to help introduce students to La Fontaine as an artist and as an interpreter of the age in which he lived (iii). Extensive notes helpful to English readers, presumably at a university student level. Occasional full-page Doré illustrations. Vocabulary and AI at the back. I should find this book helpful in choosing and preparing La Fontaine fables for various fable courses coming up.
