  • "A program about the life and work of the great--an enigmatic--fabulist whose renditions of Aesop in verse hold up animals as a mirror for human foible. La Fontaine's most charming and trenchant stories have become a source for some of France's most frequently used aphorisms. Includes readings in English from his Fables choises mises en verse and his Contes et nouvelles en vers, with illustrations from 18th century editions of his works."
  • "A program about the life and work of the great - and enigmatic - fabulist whose renditions of Aesop in verse hold up animals as a mirror for man. Splendidly illustrated 18th-century books containing the fables as well as other stories by La Fontaine provide the visuals for some of La Fontaine's most charming and trenchant fables - light-handedly moral, elegantly voiced, and a sourcebook of what have become some of France's most frequently-used aphorisms."
