Fables,
By A Customer
This review is from: Selected Fables: A Dual-Language Book (Paperback)
Fables are entertaining and interesting, reasonably easy to understand for the intermediate French student. Not being familiar with De La Fontaine I was hoping for a short story format, and was surprised to find all of the fables in verse (poetry). All in all, a good book.

Delightful,

This review is from: Selected Fables: A Dual-Language Book (Paperback)
This book contains many short french stories that are sure to be a big help to any beginner through intermediate level student. It enriches french vocabulary while simultaneously getting the reader used to translating in a non-strict, understandable manner. The opposite page with the english translation is a big help when one gets stuck on a new word!

Consolidated reviews are not helpful.,
By Resolved to my satisfaction. Thanks! - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Penguin Classics Selected Fables (Paperback)
AMAZON...Consolidating reviews for different books is NOT HELPFUL. Without looking too closely I ordered the penguin classic thinking it was dual language based on reviews posted here. Not what I wanted.
