About This Item
Jonathan Cape, London 1953 hardcover, 5½" x 8", with dust jacket Note: the Title Page has been removed from this copy, otherwise it's a GOOD book in GOOD price-clipped dust jacket Monica Sutherland's study of La Fontaine's life and his not inconsiderable literary output is the first written in English. It presents this great French writer in a biography that cannot fail to interest. La Fontaine was no sedentary author: his life was eventful in a period that was not restful (1621 - 95). He flourished during the reign of Louis XIV, and his 'Fables Choisies' are known in translation to young and old alike.
