Reviews
"The translations are not literal but instead convey the spirit of the 17th-century writer. The volume includes . . . extensive notes offering comments and explicating sources, references, translation difficulties, and so on; and lovely illustrations by David Schorr. Highly recommended."-- Choice, " Norman Shapiro is a wonderfully lively and resourceful translator, who knows how to put French wit and charm into English." --Richard Wilbur, former poet laureate of the United States, "Ably translated from the French by Shapiro, the voices of the animals, birds, insects (and even the occasional human) who populate La Fontaine's fables come alive in rhyme and rhythm that develop the traditional tales." --Library Journal, " Shapiro's skills, and certainly his prolific output, as a translator of French poetry are unsurpassed in our time." --St. Louis Post-Dispatch, "Norman Shapiro is a wonderfully lively and resourceful translator, who knows how to put French wit and charm into English." --Richard Wilbur, former poet laureate of the United States, ''Shapiro's skills, and certainly his prolific output, as a translator of French poetry are unsurpassed in our time.''

The product listed was just a stock photo. Asked the seller to send pictures showcasing the actual condition of the book before purchasing. Seller sent the pictures as I was unsure about it. It got packaged in several layers for protection from potential damage in shipping.
