'With the wit we've grown to expect, Ranjit Bolt has transformed these familiar tales into such idiomatically entertaining English that it is a pleasure rather than a chore to read them aloud to young children' - Jonathan Miller. La Fontaine's most famous fables have now been delightfully retold in elegant rhyming couplets by award-winning translator, Ranjit Bolt, accompanied by Giselle Potter's charming illustrations. Children can read about the ant and the grasshopper, the hare and the tortoise, the town mouse and the country mouse, and many other familiar characters. Full of wit and imagination, these moral tales are as fresh and funny today as ever.
