Abstract
This is a 48-page small print print-on-demand booklet offering fables from a wide array of French fabulists other than La Fontaine and Florian. After La Bédollière's introduction (1-3), there are about two to three fabulists per page and six or seven of their fables per page. In its own way, this booklet is a predecessor to Shapiro's "The Fabulists French." One is surprised again at the huge array of French authors who put their hand to creating in this genre. Bertall's illustrations occur, often in groups, every three or four pages. The original publication came out in 1851 in a series known as "Pantheon Populaire." I notice that La Bédollière was involved in other numbers of the series, sometimes as a translator.
