Summary "Fables in Rhyme for Little Folks" by Jean de La Fontaine, adapted by W. T. Larned, is a collection of fables presented in verse form, aimed at young readers. The book likely dates back to the early 20th century, serving as an adaptation of La Fontaine's original fables, which were written during the 17th century. The central theme revolves around moral lessons conveyed through animal characters, illustrating virtues and vices that resonate with children and adults alike. This adaptation includes several well-known fables, such as "The Grasshopper and the Ant," "The Tortoise and the Hare," and "The Fox and the Grapes," each accompanied by clever and engaging rhymes. The characters, like the ambitious grasshopper and the hardworking ant, teach the importance of diligence and preparation. Larned's retellings maintain the essence of La Fontaine's wisdom while making them accessible and enjoyable for a young audience. Through humor and imaginative storytelling, the book introduces readers to timeless lessons in a manner that captivates and entertains. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
