An impressive tome of some of the best loved fables including ‘The Grasshopper and the Ant’ ‘The hen with the golden eggs’ and well over 150 more. With his full-page engravings Gustave Doré does his best work with great dramatic flare. The countless smaller illustrations round out the book and make it a truly outstanding publishing endeavor.<br> Many of the fables were in the main adapted from the classical fabulists Aesop Babrius and Phaedrus. In these La Fontaine adhered to the path of his predecessors with some closeness; but in others he allowed himself far more liberty and there is a wider range of sources. The Indian Bidpai is drawn upon for oriental fables that had come to the French through translations from Persian. So while the subject of each of the Fables is often common property of many ages and races what gives La Fontaine's Fables their rare distinction is the freshness in narration the deftness of touch the unconstrained suppleness of metrical structure and the unfailing humor. Keen insight into the foibles of human nature is also found throughout. Cassell, Petter and Galpin hardcover
