Description

     No less a poet than the great         Seamus Heaney said of Norman Shapiro's Fifty Fables of La Fontaine,         "It is a pleasure to open a book as sure and sly as these translations.         . . . He gets the tune right and the tone right, and manages to echo both         the folk wisdom and the poker-faced formality of the originals."       As surely as La Fontaine followed         Aesop, Shapiro has now made fabulous fifty more fables of the wonderful         La Fontaine--among them "The Hare and the Tortoise," "The         Old Man and the Ass," and "The Frogs Who Asked for a King."         David Schorr has just as captivatingly illustrated them.
