What reading level is Jean De La Fontaine book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
" The Fables 217 Queen of Thrace and was transformed into a swallow. Her sister was changed into a nightingale.
Mme de Sevigne referred to this fable many times in her letters to her daughter.
Progne flies from the town and its church spires to seek the bosky dell where her poor enchanted sister sings. She begs her to leave the woods and fly back with her, because the sight of trees must bring to mind their past troubles.
11 Should you by deserts be engrossed ? Come, be the city's pride and boa...st. Besides, the woods remind of harms That Tereus in them did your charms. " Tereus, King of Thrace, cut out Philomela's tongue and imprisoned her.
"The thought of that so cruel wrong Makes me, from age to age, Prefer this hermitage ; For nothing like the sight of men Can call up what I suffered then. " Following " Philomele et Progne 7 " comes " La Femme Noyde, " which is a similar subject to one chosen by Verdizotti and by Marie de France. Vol- taire thought this fable insipid, and blamed La Fontaine for it, whereas in fact the same story was used by many writers, and, as Walckenaer aptly remarks, is none the better for that.
