About the author

Jean de La Fontaine

1621–1695

Best known for the lively fables that turned talking animals into sharp little lessons, this 17th-century French writer mixed wit, rhythm, and a clear-eyed view of human nature. His stories have stayed popular for centuries because they are playful on the surface and surprisingly observant underneath.
