The Best La Fontaine in English, Period!,
By sky (Cambridge MA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Fifty Fables of La Fontaine (Paperback)
Norman Shapiro's four volumes of La Fontaine translations are better than we have the right to expect in English translation--what more can be said? If you enjoy "Fifty Fables"--and you will--do investigate "Fifty More Fables," "Once Again, La Fontaine," and "La Fontaine's Bawdy"--each volume is full of perfect gems.
