Illustrated by
Giselle Potter.
Bolt translates nineteen fables in rhymed couplets. The verse takes center stage on Potter's full-bleed pages, where characters make a quiet, invitingly decorative complement. An introduction outlines the venerable history of La Fontaine's sources; an "Afterword" poem offers a sort of supermoral. In a field long dominated by Aesop, this is an attractive, more courtly offering.
