La Fontaine - Selected Fables for Children - Paperback

by Jean de la Fontaine (Author)

Discover or rediscover the famous Fables through a facsimile of this collection published in 1888, beautifully illustrated by Louis-Maurice Boutet de Monvel (1850-1913). Gathered in a delightful and mischievous world, these twenty-six fables will immerse you in a sepia-toned universe imbued with nostalgia, and will allow you to read these short stories with timeless morals with your family. This work is part of a heritage conservation policy for French literature works implemented with the BNF. HACHETTE LIVRE and the BNF thus offer a catalog of unavailable titles, with the BNF having digitized these works and HACHETTE LIVRE printing them on demand. Some of these works reflect currents of thought characteristic of their time, but which would be considered reprehensible today. Nevertheless, they belong to the history of ideas in France and are likely to be of scientific or historical interest. The purpose of our editorial approach is thus to provide access to these works without us endorsing their content in any way. For more information, visit www.hachettebnf.fr
