Description: 1884 EXQUISITE Jean de La Fontaine Tales & Novels Contes Eisen Illustrated 2v 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. Many of Fontaine’s fables were adapted from those of Aesop and Phaedrus; though he did take liberties to make them his own. Fontaine’s ‘Tales’ (or ‘contes’) have not maintained the same popularity as his fables; however, they are no less desirable today. They differ from the fables in that they often contain more sexually explicit content and are not marketed toward a younger audience.
