About the author
Jean de La Fontaine (1621–1695) was a French poet and fabulist, born in Château-Thierry. He is best known for his Fables, published in twelve books between 1668 and 1694, which drew on sources including Aesop and Horace while giving familiar stories a distinctly French voice.
La Fontaine spent much of his literary life in Paris, supported by influential patrons and friendships with writers such as Molière, Racine, and Boileau. After years of royal suspicion, he was elected to the Académie française in 1684. His deceptively simple verse, lively characters, and keen understanding of human behavior have kept his work widely read for centuries.
