Fables in Rhyme for Little Folks: From the French of La Fontaine
Children & Young Adult Reading, Poetry
Translated by W. T. (William Trowbridge) Larned
Fables in Rhyme for Little Folks is a collection of children's poetry adapted from the original fables of Jean de La Fontaine, a prominent 17th-century French fabulist. Likely published in the early 20th century, this edition presents moral lessons through engaging rhymes and animal characters, including well-known tales like 'The Grasshopper and the Ant' and 'The Tortoise and the Hare.' The adaptation by Larned retains La Fontaine's wisdom while making it accessible for young readers, teaching virtues and vices in a captivating manner.
