Jean de La Fontaine adapted fables of classical and oriental origin into verse, in which animals embody human virtues and faults. With humor and irony, each tale leaves a lesson.

The edition belongs to the Idéal-bibliothèque collection and is illustrated by Jean-Louis Henriot. The original title of the work is Fables choisies mises en vers.
For a young and adult audience interested in French classics, with texts in their original language.
Jean de La Fontaine was a French fabulist and one of the most widely read French poets of the 17th century. He is known above all for his Fables, which provided a model for subsequent fabulists across Europe and numerous alternative versions in France, as well as in French regional languages.
