Tome Second" by Jean de La Fontaine is a collection of fables published between 1668-1694.

Drawing from classical sources like Aesop and Eastern texts like the Panchatantra, La Fontaine transforms ancient tales into French verse with wit and irony. These animal fables reveal keen insights into human nature through pointed morals and artful storytelling. Originally aimed at sophisticated adults, they became required reading for French schoolchildren, with countless phrases entering everyday language. Each tale balances apparent simplicity with consummate craft and subtle social commentary.
