Fables Composed for the Use of the Duke of Burgundy

François de Salignac de La Mothe-Fénelon

Twenty-seven fables and tales Fénelon wrote to teach the young Duke of Burgundy, his pupil: moral histories of Aristonous, Alibeg, Florisa and others, and short animal fables, in James Elphinston's 1760 version.
