Book Synopsis
Brings together more than sixty artists from across the United States, Europe, and Asia to create artwork for "Fables of La Fontaine". This book features illustrations celebrating an intersection of art with the fabulist tradition. It includes tales such as, "The Hare and the Tortoise" and "The Man Between Two Ages and His Two Mistresses".

Trade Review
"This new translation effort is impressive, both visually and in literary terms... The question of whether to preserve the verse and how to render it in English has been been masterly resolved by Constantine Christofides. The result is a free verse, an approximate prosody that, although it does not reproduce the original, gives a faithful echo of it." Le Monde
