Jean de La Fontaine collected fables from a wide variety of sources, both Western and Eastern, and adapted them into French free verse. They were issued under the general title of Fables in several volumes from 1668 to 1694 and are considered classics of French literature. Humorous, nuanced, and ironical, they were originally aimed at adults but then entered the educational system and were required learning for school children. Divided into 12 books, there are 239 of the Fables, varying in length from a few lines to some hundred, those written later being, as a rule, longer than those written earlier. Less
