Description
1757 FABLES of Jean de FONTAINE French Literature Aesop Poetry Pierre Coste 2in1
Jean de la Fontaine was without question, the most widely read 17th-century fabulist, and perhaps could be rivaled only by Aesop himself. He wrote for what he intended to be a sophisticated French audience; however, his stories provided important lessons on morality for children and adults alike.
This 1757 edition was published in Paris and features the commentary of Pierre Coste.
