Synopsis
Jean de La Fontaine (1621 - 1695), one of the best-loved French poets, is the foremost fabulist since Aesop, and his books have entertained generations of readers throughout France and the Western world. In Once Again, La Fontaine, Norman R. Shapiro brings his scholarly knowledge of fable lore and outstanding facility with English verse together to produce beautiful, witty translations. Adults will be captured by the subtle and sophisticated layers of meaning which Shapiro has skillfully brought to light, and children will delight in the moral tales. Readers of all ages will appreciate the sly and charming illustrations by David Schorr.

From the Inside Flap
"It is a pleasure to open a book as sure and sly as these translations . . . He gets the tune right and the tone right and manages to echo both the folk wisdom and the poker-faced formality of the originals." -- Seamus Heaney, writing about Shapiro's Fifty Fables of La Fontaine
