Tales and Novels of J. De La Fontaine — Volume 15 is a collection of narrative poetry and short stories by Jean de La Fontaine, written in the 17th century. This volume includes two primary tales: 'The Mandrake,' which follows a foolish man's comedic attempts to father a child through deception, and 'The Rhemese,' where a clever wife and her painter husband outsmart their male neighbors.
