Abstract: en_US Thirteen good translations of LaFontaine make up some forty of the 140 pages here. The fables and other translations from French, Italian, Spanish, and German are presented bilingually, with the original and the translation facing each other. I am surprised that Cairncross can bring off the rhymed translations of LaFontaine as well as he does. The best include The Vicar and the Corpse (57-9) and The Cobbler and the Millionaire (65-7). There are plentiful handwritten corrections in the text, apparently from the hand of the author.
