Publisher's Synopsis

The Falcon And The Little Dog is a fable written by Jean De La Fontaine, a French poet and fabulist. The book is a part of his famous collection of fables, which were written in the 17th century. The story revolves around a little dog and a falcon who become friends despite their differences. The little dog is owned by a wealthy man and is pampered and well-fed, while the falcon is a wild bird of prey who lives in the forest. One day, the little dog is out for a walk when he meets the falcon, who is injured and unable to fly. The little dog takes him home and nurses him back to health. The two become close friends, and the falcon teaches the little dog about the world beyond his pampered life. However, their friendship is tested when the falcon's natural instincts kick in, and he tries to hunt the little dog's master's chickens. The little dog must decide whether to stay loyal to his friend or to protect his master's property. The Falcon And The Little Dog is a timeless tale about friendship, loyalty, and the importance of understanding and accepting differences.ENAMOURED of the belle, his lands he sold; The family estates were turned to gold; And many who the purchases had made, With pelf accumulated by their trade, Assumed the airs of men of noble birth: -- Fair subjects oft for ridicule and mirth!This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
